4 children rescued from web sex show business
Print Edition
Four minors have been rescued and two suspects detained in the Philippines, following a raid on an apartment where children were made to undress for Internet cameras, the judicial officials said on Wednesday.
The Manila raid followed a tip-off from the United States Department of Homeland Security, said Dante Bonoan, anti-human trafficking division chief of the justice department’s National Bureau of Investigation.
“The exploited minors were asked to show their sex parts to their clients,” he told reporters, adding that the website’s paid subscribers were mostly from the United States, Canada and European countries.
Police say the Philippines is a key center of the fast-growing global industry that streams live images of children forced to commit sex acts for pedophiles abroad, with thousands of children abused.
Police in Britain, Australia and the Philippines announced last month that they had jointly dismantled a pedophile ring that streamed live sexual abuse of Filipino children as young as six. The international operation rescued 15 victims aged between six and 15, while 29 people were arrested.
Bonoan said two people suspected of running the Manila apartment operation were detained, but gave no details.
