The Crimes of Peter Scully and the problem of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children

Published: June 3, 2021, 10 p.m.

b'In 2012, a horrific video depicting the sexual abuse and torture of 3 young Filipino children surfaced in the dark web. The creator of the video is an Australian man, Peter Scully, who made Mindanao his new home and who used Filipino children as objects in his depraved online business. The publishing of this video served as a catalyst not only to hunt down Peter Scully but also to have a hard and long look at the problem of online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) in the Philippines. In this season-ender episode, I do not merely look at Peter Scully but also at the current state of OSEC in the Philippines.Thank you for all the support for the last 15 episodes.
