Authorities report that the individual wanted in relation to a sexual-harassment incident has now been recognized.

The police's Family and Child Protection Unit had previously published a video clip requesting public help to recognize the person involved in an ongoing investigation.

The video captured a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans, strolling down a street and pausing in front of a house in Male' city.

Authorities have since verified the man's identity and expressed gratitude to the public for their assistance.
