LAS VEGAS -- A young girl who was seen being sexually assaulted in a homemade videotape has been found and is safe with family members and sheriff's officials, an investigator said Friday.

In this undated photo provided by Nye County Sheriff's Office, an unidentified girl (with face blurred out) believed to be 4 or 5 years old is shown. Authorities trying to aid two girls seen in a sexually explicit videotape say they have identified one and were showing images of the other Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007 in the hope that someone would recognize her.[AP]

"We found the victim. She's safe," Nye County sheriff's Detective David Boruchowitz told The Associated Press.

Widespread media accounts of the case led to the crucial tip that helped find the girl, Boruchowitz said. He did not provide details of her identity, where she lives or how she was located.
