Washington, D.C. — The Federal Bureau of Investigations is asking the public for help finding out the identity of a sexual predator. 

A man, only described as John Doe 45 by federal authorities, was first seen in a video recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in June 2020.

Federal investigators said the video showed the unidentified man with a young child. The video, officials say, was created between January and April of 2019. 

The FBI describes the man in the video as a white male with brown hair and a brown beard and mustache. 

Anyone with information on the identity of this individual should contact the FBI at www.tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
