Police say four adults have been charged in three separate cases involving children victims.
The three cases have no connection, according to a release from the Anchorage Police Department.
Now, police are asking for the public’s help to determine if more victims are connected with these incidents. In all three cases, police say there is a concern that others have been victimized by the suspects. Anyone with information on any of the cases is asked to call APD Det. Leonard Torres at 907-786-8573.

Justin Nekeferoff, 30, was involved in an undercover operation by APD and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in July. The investigation was initiated by a complaint from an acquaintance of Nekeferoff after they found child pornography on his cell phone.
A female undercover FBI agent, pretending to be new to the state, contacted Nekeferoff via Facebook messenger, court records show. After several conversations, Nekeferoff opened up to the agent about wanting to have sex with an underage girl. The FBI agent and Nekeferoff arranged to meet at a Wasilla hotel so Nekeferoff could have sex with the agent’s fictitious 8-year-old daughter.
In his exchange with the agent before the meeting, Nekeferoff admitted to having sex with a female minor from the time she was 4 years old and he was 14 years old, continuing until she was 15 and he was 24, according to court records. The abuse was reported to have occurred outside a residence in the Peters Creek area, police said.
Nekeferoff was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of second-degree abuse of a minor. He is being held without bail.
