FBI Needs Help Identifying Street In Photo Of Child Sex Exploitation Suspect's Car

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying a street.

On Nov. 30, David Keith of the Bronx, was indicted for sexual exploitation, enticement and child pornography crimes, according to Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

The FBI is asking for the public's help identifying the street or neighborhood that Keith's 1999 Yukon Denali is parked on in order to help additional victims, Bharara said.

"As alleged, David Keith targeted young girls as they walked in public," said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Diego Rodriquez said.

According to Bharara, on Oct. 13, 2013, Keith, who lives in the vicinity of the University Heights, Morris Heights, Mount Hope and Mount Eden neighborhoods approached three girls, approximately 12 to 14 years old, on the street and pretended to work in the modeling industry.

He encouraged the girls to model for him and coerced one of the girls to enter his gray Yukon Denali, where he video recorded, among other things, himself engaging in forcible sexual conduct with her, Bharara said.

On or about Oct. 12, 2013, in the same sport-utility vehicle, Keith recorded the exposed genitals of a second victim, approximately 8 to 9 years of age, Bharara said.

His computer also had images and videos of child porn on it, Bharara said.

"David Keith is charged with preying on some of the most vulnerable members of our community in the way parents fear most," Bharara said." He allegedly approached young girls under the guise of working in modeling, and then coerced and tricked the victims into engaging in sexually explicit conduct with him, capturing it on video. Together with our partners at the FBI, we are committed to protecting children from those who seek to sexually exploit them."

It is believed the street is in the five boroughs and could possibly be in the Bronx.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (212)384-1000 or submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov/.

Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Keith is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 4.
