That nationwide manhunt for a "John Doe" suspected child pornographer, featured here on Boing Boing earlier this week? It's over. They got the (alleged) bastard. About 24 hours after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) asked the public for help identifying a man who appeared in a series of videos documenting the sexual abuse of a 7-9yo girl, "John Doe" was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a tip called in to the ICE tip line. In the arrest notice, ICE didn't provide further details on the victim, but says she has "been rescued."
Update: Homeland Security arrests "John Doe" child pornography suspect, rescues child from ongoing sexual abuse
