U.S. Marshals hunt for man accused of sexually assaulting baby, posting videos on social media

U.S. Marshals in Oklahoma City are urging the public to assist in the search for a man wanted in connection with a truly despicable crime.

As per reports, the Marshals, along with the Enid Police Department, are hunting a man accused of sexually assaulting a 6-month-old baby and then uploading the footage to social media.

Brice Gage Watkins is wanted on a charge of distribution of child pornography. The Enid Police Department announced back in August that they had apprehended the suspect, only for it to transpire that they had the wrong man.
