MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) - Interpol has agreed to allow wider use of public appeals to track suspected pedophiles, after the method led to the arrest of a Canadian schoolteacher last month, an agency official said Tuesday.
Last month's public appeal was made after German police unscrambled digitized swirls that obscured the face of a man depicted in about 200 Internet photos having sex with a dozen different boys between the ages of 6 and 12 in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Interpol posted the unscrambled images on its Web site and 11 days later, Christopher Paul Neil was identified and tracked down in Thailand.
