The Federal Bureau of Investigation agents are asking for help in finding a man they believed has information related to a child sexual exploitation investigation.

According to a FBI notice, the agency is looking for a man only called John Doe 48, who they say may know the identity of a child victim or have critical information for their investigation.

While the case has no direct link to the state of Georgia, the FBI is putting out a national request for information to help investigators build leads to find John Doe 48.
