Australian Men Gets Life Behind Bars in Philippine Prison for Horrific Abuse
Trial Highlights
Peter Scully, a former Aussie who tried to sneak around in the Philippines, has been handed a life sentence after courts found him guilty of trafficking and raping under‑age girls.
The judge also slapped a five‑million‑peso fine on him and his wife for the trafficking of two kids aged 10 and 12.
What Terror Struck His Hearings
- Chaining victims like puppies – Victims were reportedly strapped to the neck of Scully’s apartment, like dogs on leashes.
- He filmed and abused children and even an 18‑month‑old baby.
- Videos were allegedly sold to German, U.S., and Brazilian buyers.
- Another, looming trial involves 60 more charges, including the rape and murder of a 12‑year‑old girl.
Backstory
Scully fled Australia back in 2011 after facing fraud accusations. He landed in southern Philippines in 2015, claiming the place was safer.
Instead of quitting crime, he built a cybersex enterprise, filming teenage girls from poor families and exploiting them for sexual gratification.
Government Response
In the region, the prosecutor’s office declared the conviction a “big victory” and a loud warning to traffickers.
The social welfare department reports that the victims remain in government custody and are undergoing therapy to help them heal and go back to normal life.
International Backing
Australia’s foreign affairs division is giving consular support but is keeping details private, citing privacy obligations.
