Interpol says it has received over 200 leads in the first 24 hours after launching a worldwide public appeal for help identifying a man seen sexually abusing young Southeast Asian boys in photos posted on the Internet.
The international police agency says nearly 30 times more visitors than on an average day went to its Web site in just the first 12 hours after the launch.
In a statement Wednesday, Interpol called the response “very positive” but declined to provide details about the leads.
The Lyon, France-based agency released six photos of the gray-haired, white man seemingly in his late 40s or early 50s in the appeal launched Tuesday. The pictures are thought to have been taken in 2000 and 2001.
