Dec. 1, 2005 -- -- Earlier this year, Toronto police took an extraordinary step in their search for a little girl who was being subjected to the worst kind of abuse imaginable.
She was the subject of pictures that had been showing up in the hands of pedophiles. They showed her tied up and raped repeatedly, and police could see her growing older in the photos. They feared the abuse was still going on.
So they digitally removed her from the photos -- only showing her surroundings -- and asked the public for help.
Months later, Toronto police learned that her abuser had already been jailed, and that she had been placed with a foster family.
She told her story for the first time to ABC News. She was interviewed in the presence of her new adoptive mother, her therapist and adviser -- all of whom hope that airing her story might help her heal.
"It's like he stole my childhood," the young girl, Masha, said. "He took away five years of my life that I could never get back."
Masha was born in a small, industrial city in southern Russia. She doesn't remember her father, and says her mother was an alcoholic. When she was 4, Masha says, her mother stabbed her in the back of her neck during a drinking binge. When authorities responded, they took Masha away to live in an orphanage.
It was a sad and desperate existence, but because adoption is rare in Russia, Masha expected to live there until she turned 18. Then one day, a divorced 41-year-old American showed up saying he wanted to adopt her.
Matthew Mancuso had found Masha through an adoption agency in Cherry Hill, N.J. He said he wanted to adopt a 5- or 6-year-old Caucasian girl, and Mancuso picked Masha out from a videotape sent to him by the adoption agency.
Masha said Mancuso was friendly and brought her gifts. But there was also something strange about him. "I remember asking him if I was gonna get a mother, and he'd say that he wasn't married, and that he didn't think I would," she said.
The nightmare began when Masha flew home with Mancuso to his modest, middle-class house on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. When it was time for bed that first night, he didn't send her to her room -- he told her to get in bed with him.
He wasn't wearing any clothes, she said. The first couple of nights, he touched her leg or chest. Then he started touching her private parts. And then, a few days later, he started raping her repeatedly -- and taking sexually explicit photographs.
"I'd make myself think of other things when it was happening," she said. "But it always came back to me -- couldn't stop it."
To keep her silent he used rewards -- as well as threats. "He'd tell me not to tell anyone, or else something bad would happen," Masha said. "He wouldn't tell me what it would be, but he'd just say something bad would happen. So I just didn't tell anybody, 'cause I was afraid."
The road to Masha's rescue began hundreds of miles away in the Chicago suburb of Palos Heights. Police Sgt. Mike Zaglifa had been posing as a pedophile on the Internet, where obscene pictures of children are often traded like baseball cards.
There is a limited supply of child porn, and so pedophiles are always looking for arousing new images -- so when Masha's fresh pictures appeared, this caused a feeding frenzy.
Zaglifa pretended to want them too, and struck up a conversation with someone using the handle "NkdSister." After chatting with him for a bit, he had a gut feeling -- and traced NkdSister's Internet address to Pittsburgh.
On May 27, 2003, federal agents Denise Holtz and Tom Clinton visited Mancuso's home, looking for the photos advertised on the Internet. When they pulled up, they saw Mancuso and Masha outside. They immediately separated them, and Clinton says he could tell Mancuso was concerned. "He wasn't happy that we were there and it was obvious to us," he said.
The agents found computer disks with child pornography -- but the biggest discovery was to come from Masha herself. Holtz remembers her asking: "Is this about my secret?" An agent had taken Mancuso inside his house, but even there, he tried to keep Masha from talking by yelling out to her.
But Masha spoke anyway. "It was like, I finally had someone to talk to. So once I said something -- I said everything else. It just all came out," she said. Masha was finally rescued at the age of 10. She says she doesn't know what she would have done if they didn't come. "I guess I'd still be waiting, like I did for five years," she said.
It turns out Masha was not Mancuso's first victim. His ex-wife, Doreen McDade, and his 28-year-old daughter, Rachelle, told ABC News he had done this before. He had molested Rachelle as a child, they said.
"I feel so much guilt for what happened. When I first found out that he adopted a little girl I should have spoke up, I should have said something. I feel somehow responsible," Rachelle said.
But McDade and her daughter both say they were never contacted by adoption authorities. Instead, Mancuso's agency relied on a home study prepared by a Pittsburgh social worker. It states: "Mr. Mancuso is very capable, willing and well-prepared to provide a stable and loving home."
"It doesn't appear that they talked to anybody about Mancuso, that they simply took what Mancuso said to them at face value and placed this child with him," said Maureen Flatley, a lobbyist who specializes in adoption and child welfare.
She has also been hired by Masha's lawyer to find out how a pedophile could have adopted a young child.
Tom Atwood, president of the National Council on Adoption, says he saw the study that was performed on Mancuso, and said it was "fairly typical." But he adds that Masha's adoption is not defensible. "Something went wrong, clearly." Adoption experts are especially troubled by the fact that, according to Masha, there were no home visits when she got to Pittsburgh. Just one, they say should have turned up some disturbing details -- like the fact that Masha had no bedroom.
"They sold her to a complete stranger. And let her go," Flatley said.
While post-placement supervision is required in Pennsylvania for domestic adoptions from foster care, no such law exists for international placement. And while more than $500 million has been spent on Russian adoptions since the fall of the Soviet Union, Flatley said, "The policy seems to be, if the check clears, the kid is yours."
Mancuso paid tens of thousands of dollars for his adoption of Masha. But Atwood said typically, "people do not provide adoption service for money. They are motivated by desiring to help children have families."
Jeannene Smith, the woman who arranged the adoption, refused to discuss the adoption, citing constraints in New Jersey law. But she issued a statement to ABC News, which said: "The unearthing of this horrific experience has further strengthened our resolve to advocate for policy and law enforcement tools to help prevent applicants with criminal motives from becoming adoptive parents in the future."
Two weeks ago, in a courtroom in Allegheny County, Pa., Mancuso pleaded guilty as charged. The judge called it one of the most heinous cases of child abuse she had ever seen and sentenced him to a minimum of 35 years in prison.
He had already received a 15-year prison sentence in February 2004 on federal child pornography charges.
Prosecutors for the state of Florida have announced they too will try Mancuso for the crimes they say he committed against Masha on a visit to Disneyworld.
Mancuso has said nothing to Masha since he was sentenced. "He never apologized to me," she noted.
Meanwhile, his actions continue to victimize her. Her pictures are still out there. But she is bravely putting all that behind her. Now 13, she lives in a quiet suburb of another American city with her new adoptive mother.
She's said she's going public to give hope to other abused children out there.
"Even if they are afraid to tell somebody, no matter what they think is going to happen, it's going to be for the better," she said. "If they tell somebody, it's going to change."

A child pornography victim from Pennsylvania is using a law that carries her name to seek at least $150,000 each from her father, 13 other jailed men and anyone else who viewed explicit images of her.
"Masha's Law'' is named for Masha Allen, a Russian orphan adopted at age 5 by divorced Pittsburgh-area millionaire Matthew Mancuso. He's in prison for making and posting about 200 sexually explicit images of her that authorities believe have been viewed millions of times online.
The FBI sought the identity of the child known as the "Internet Girl'' or "Disney World Girl'' and located Masha in 2003, when she was 10. She is now 20 and has changed her name to regain some measure of privacy after testifying in Congress.
"Why didn't anyone ever check up on me?'' she asked during her testimony before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, according to a transcript.
Her class-action lawsuit, filed Friday in Philadelphia under the name Jane Doe, targets doctors and other professionals like Mancuso who have assets that could be seized. All of the named defendants are in prison for exploiting her. They come from towns across the U.S., including Stonington, Conn.; Port St. Lucy, Fla.; and Olympia, Wash. The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported on the lawsuit Tuesday.
"Scarred by years of brutal exploitation, she must now also bear the humiliating knowledge that untold numbers of men ... continue to take sadistic pleasure in viewing and distributing graphic visual depiction of her pain and degradation,'' the lawsuit said.
On any given day, that could include the man standing behind her in line at the grocery store, the lawsuit said.

More than 2,300 people have been indicted by the Justice Department for viewing Masha's images alone. She is notified each time the list grows.
"If you get down into the court files, and start reading about the images that these people were downloading and viewing for their pleasure, it's frightening and depressing,'' said Leighton Moore, an Atlanta lawyer who represents the young woman. "Some of them are day care workers. Some of them are policemen, firefighters.''
About a dozen lawsuits have been filed under the 2006 law, but Moore is the first to seek class-action certification, so that his client does not have to endure serial litigation. Some of those cases have ended with judgments, but Moore did not know if any victims have been able to collect.
He declined to discuss how his client is doing or whether she is in school or working.
"You can imagine the kind of experiences that she's been through leaves some scars,'' he said.
Mancuso, an engineer in his mid-40s, had sought to adopt a girl between the ages of 4 and 6, explaining that he wanted to make up for his strained relationship with his teenage daughter, according to the Congressional hearing transcript. He then repeatedly raped and sexually abused Masha on camera, sometimes during trips to Disney World.
Mancuso, who lived in Plum, is serving a 15-year federal sentence for child pornography. He also faces a state sentence for child rape and incest when he leaves federal prison.
According to the 2006 Congressional hearing, a social worker sent Russian officials a report after the adoption describing Mancuso's home as warm and loving, all based on a phone interview. The Somerdale, N.J., woman whose adoption agency placed her with Mancuso told the Congressional panel that in-home checks were then voluntary on Mancuso's part.

Child-Porn Victim Brings Her Story to Washington
Cleveland judge suspended indefinitely for incidents of misconduct
This is why bodies of water all over North America are drying up

CDC corrects conservative claim: They cannot mandate COVID vaccines in schools
Putin's martial law declaration 'speaks to his desperation,' Blinken tells ABC
Aug. 31, 2006 — -- There are approximately 3 million images of child pornography on the Internet.
As large as that number may seem, it can be a sad, abstract and faceless statistic.
In May, Masha Allen, a Russian-born 13-year-old, put a face on child pornography and its victims when she testified before Congress.
She revealed the horrific pain behind those numbers in written testimony that described her experiences as a victim of online child molestation and pornography.
Masha thought she was heading for a better life in America when she was adopted in 1998 by Matthew Mancuso, who brought the 8-year-old to his home in Pittsburgh.
Instead, she became a victim of child pornography as Mancuso adopted her with the purpose of molesting her and using her to produce pornographic photos, which he would then share with others.
She appeared in more than 200 explicit photos that circulated on the Internet.
Masha's image caught the attention of authorities, who ultimately tracked her down and arrested Mancuso, removing her from his custody.
He was convicted in 2003 of distributing child pornography online and received a 35-year prison sentence on federal pornography charges, while facing additional charges.
Masha is now safe and with a new family. Mancuso is in prison.
She told Congress' Energy and Commerce Committee at its fourth such hearing this year that her horror hadn't ended.
"Because Matthew put my pictures on the Internet, the abuse is still going on," she said to legislators.
"You have to do something about the Internet," she wrote. "Matthew found the adoption agency on the Internet. They let him look at my pictures from Russia on the Internet even though they didn't really know anything about him."
"Matthew put my pictures on the Internet after he got me. People are still downloading them even though he has been in prison for two years," Masha said.
Masha first told her story to "Primetime" in an effort to help other victims.
She thanked correspondent John Quinones twice in her written testimony to Congress for helping to bring her story "to the whole world."
In her "Primetime" interview, she told ABC News she felt Mancuso "stole" her childhood.
"He took away five years of my life that I could never get back," Masha said.
She also urged other victims to seek help.
"Even if they are afraid to tell somebody, no matter what they think is going to happen, it's going to be for the better," she said. "If they tell somebody, it's going to change."
Masha's courage may now assist lawmakers as they look for ways to combat the growing child-porn industry.
Authorities say one in five children is now approached by online predators in what Congress calls a multibillion-dollar industry.
Nine other people have been convicted in federal court for downloading Masha's pictures.
There are dozens of notices of other pending cases, a number that does not begin to reflect the actual number of potential defendants in criminal and civil cases.
In July, President Bush signed Masha's Law, which dramatically increases the fines and penalties for downloading kiddie porn.
It's part of a larger law called the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, which requires convicted child molesters to be listed on a national Internet database and face a felony charge for failing to update their whereabouts.

Masha Allen suffered years of horrifying sexual abuse at the hands of her wealthy adoptive father and is now suing him and 13 other pedophiles who include doctors and lawyers in a $20,000,000 lawsuit filed on Friday.
Originally from Russia, Allen was adopted at the age of five in 1998 by an unmarried Pittsburgh businessman, Matthew Mancuso who proceeded to rape and post sickening images of her online for five years.
Rescued in 2003 after a national police investigation into internet pedophiles, Allen decided to go public with her story and Congress eventually passed 'Masha's Law' to give victims the right to sue anyone caught with their images associated with child pornography.
New Civil Lawsuit: Masha Allen testifies on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, May 3, 2006 before the Congressional Oversight and Investigations subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee
Allen, who is now 20-years old intends to do that and in a federal suit filed in Philadelphia on Friday, the victim names Mancuso and 13 other men all convicted of possessing or transmitting her images online.
According to the federal law in her name, Allen is entitled to a minimum payout of $150,000 from each man.
