ICE seeks public’s help to identify ‘John Doe’ conspirator in one of the largest-ever child pornography investigations Unknown suspect is believed to be in southern Connecticut area
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) seeks the public’s help to identify a suspected child pornography distributer who helped facilitate one of the largest underground networks ever encountered by law enforcement.
The individual is the only remaining suspected administrator of the website investigated as part of Operation Round Table, one of the largest online child exploitation investigations in history, involving victims in 39 states, including Connecticut, and five additional countries.
HSI special agents investigating this case believe “John Doe,” whose real first name may be Shaun, is an adult male between 40 and 50 years old. They do not have a photo of the suspect.
Based on investigative clues, HSI special agents believe this person may be living within a 100-mile radius of the New Haven, Connecticut, area. They believe he works in construction management and travels out of town regularly. They also believe he has degrees in electrical engineering and construction management and is proficient with computer programming. He may have previously worked as a director of IT or information security. He may also have a family member living in Hamburg, Germany, who he intended to visit in late spring of this year.
