Using digitally descrambled images of a suspected pedophile, Interpol issued a global alert Monday, asking for the public’s help in identifying the man. The man in the images had posted online about 200 images of himself sexually abusing 12 young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia, but every photo of him had been digitally altered to hide his face with a blurred swirl. Interpol’s Trafficking in Human Beings unit, working with specialists from the Bundeskriminalamt in Germany, managed to descramble the images and produce an identifiable picture.
