What can one say about this story? I don't even know how to introduce it so let's dive right in.

A British man who paid to watch abducted Filipino children be drugged and raped online has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
According to police, Alan Porter – who has visited the Philippines for 30 years – had also arranged to rape street children during future trips to the country.
According to police, he was even found with a suitcase full of chocolate bars, ready to entice children on his next visit.
The amount of evil in those few sentence is shocking. A man who has been visiting the Philippines for thirty years has been paying others to film themselves raping children so he can watch via the internet and on his next visit he was planning to rape street children himself. He even had a suitcase full of chocolates to lure them.
At first one would have to agree that it is a very good thing this man has been put away.

The court heard Porter had travelled to The Philippines – where he has a Filipino wife and step-daughter – on numerous occasion over the past 30 years.
He also had a previous conviction for inciting the distribution of indecent images of children, which dated back to 1999, the court heard.
Between 2015 and 2017, Porter contacted various sources in the Philippines to take children from the streets and engage in “sex shows” for him to watch online.
In his messages he also asked to engage in sexual acts with several children during future trips.
These included a 15-year-old girl whose virginity he was offered for £280.
When asked if he wanted to try sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl, Porter replied “yeah, why not?”
When asked whether he preferred young boys or girls, he replied “both hehe”.
Porter, who used the email address porterbigboy@btinternet.com, requested children with particular physical features to suit his desires.
Prosecutor Rachel Beckett said: “When told that some of the children were 17 or 18, he asked if there were children younger than that available.”
He also requested “rape and drug films”.
He transferred money online to his sources, on some occasions as little as £20, who then sexually abused the children and filmed it for him to watch.
But then you read the details of the case and suddenly realise that this man was not alone. While he was arrested by the UK police somewhere in the Philippines is a man who has been raping little children for about P1200. It's not as if the UK coordinated a sting operation with Philippine authorities and let the man fly to the Philippines and then the PNP nabbed him and his accomplice at the airport. Not at all.
The case came to the attention of the police on February 17, 2017, when an anonymous letter and a memory card were sent to Durrington Police Station in Worthing.
The letter said Porter had been going to the Philippines for the past 30 years and there had been “talk of rape and drugging street children on his next visit”, and grooming of various children “as young as seven”.
Police started to investigate and, less than a month later, a relative of Porter’s paid him a visit after his father died.
During the visit Porter logged into his Facebook on his relative’s phone.
It became clear later on he had failed to sign out of the website and his relative was able to see his discussions about abusing children.
She sought advice from police and Porter was arrested on April 5 at his home address in Onslow Drive, Ferring.
Officers found half-packed suitcases of chocolate, a heavy-duty nylon rope, plus two alarm clocks and a coat hanger that he used to disguise hidden cameras to film his abuse.
An anonymous letter with a memory card and forgetting to sign out of Facebook led to his downfall. But that is only HIS downfall. There is not mention of coordination with the PNP or the NBI or the DOJ to nab his accomplice. In fact this story did not even show up on any mainstream Philippine news sites but only on Philippinelifestyle and a few UK news sites.
The official statement from the Sussex police is not any more helpful. Every news story is basically regurgitating that statement. The detail about his having a wife is missing from that statement but that is irrelevant because this man had a contact, whether his wife or not, in the Philippines who was more than willing to drug and rape street kids for his viewing pleasure and that rapist is still at large.
Filipinos are not above abusing their own children to earn a few pesos from overseas sickos.

About 170 people have been arrested in the Philippines for the online abuse of children since the beginning of September.
These arrests have led to the filing of human trafficking charges against the suspects and the conviction of at least 46 traffickers, the International Justice Mission (IJM) said in a statement today (Friday, October 12).
The IJM, an organisation that campaigns against the online sexual exploitation of children, commended the efforts of Cebu Vice Governor Agnes Magpale and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
As we reported earlier this month, both Magpale and the DOJ were instrumental in bringing a couple from Cordova town, Cebu, to justice for exploiting their own children.
The court was told how the couple forced their six children to undress and pose naked in front of a web camera. Overseas ‘clients’ would pay from 1,000 to 5,000 pesos for each ‘show’.
Sexual abuse of children has become a depraved family business.

Now, the United Nations says, there are tens of thousands of children believed to be involved in a rapidly expanding local child abuse industry already worth US$1bn.
In some areas, entire communities live off the business, abetted by increasing internet speeds, advancing cameraphone technology, and growing ease of money transfers across borders.
And while perpetrators used to download photos and videos to their hard drives – providing authorities with a virtual paper trail and usable evidence – criminals have found anonymity in encrypted live-streaming programs.
Stephanie McCourt, the south-east Asia liaison officer for the UK’s National Crime Agency, said the Philippines provided a perfect storm to allow the crime to develop, with its entrenched poverty and high level of internet access for a developing country. But there is one thing that she said was absolutely key: a widespread knowledge of the English language.
“They can communicate with offenders. After we’d been scratching our heads, the penny dropped,” she said. “That’s not to say that it won’t move to other countries … There is probably a huge amount we don’t know.”
It is hard to estimate the size of an industry involving small anonymous payments, roughly $5-$200 a show, conducted in people’s homes and mostly operated by families rather than large crime syndicates.
“We think that what we are seeing, what we are dealing with, is a small part of what is out there,” she said. “It is big money. Big business.”
The number of ongoing live-streaming criminal cases in the Philippines is rising, from 57 in 2013, growing to 89 in 2014, and up to 167 in 2015.
But those numbers belie the true scale, according to Det Supt Paul Hopkins, the head of the Australian Federal Police team in Manila who has spent the past two years investigating the crime. Wearing a short-sleeved, Filipino-style shirt, he described the size of the trade as “monstrous”.
Big money. Big business. An industry worth US$1bn. And that is from 2016. The problem has continued to expand so that the Philippines has been declared by UNICEF as the number one global hub for online child pornography.

“Child pornography is a billion-dollar industry, and Filipino children are the ones being traded and exploited online. Children who are made to perform sex acts in front of a web camera will never get their childhood back. We must all work together to protect our children,” Unicef Country Representative Lotta Sylwander said.
A billion dollar industry! That is the verdict from a 2017 UNICEF report which seems to be the latest. But has that changed? Is it worth any less? Are children at any less risk since then? NO! The article above about 170 Pinoys being arrested for abused is from October 2018 and the following stories are mostly from 2018:

Go ahead and applaud the arrest of this sicko pervert from the UK who paid to watch children raped online. But realise he is just the tip of a billion dollar iceberg. And don't play the blame game. Filipinos do not have to abuse their own children. They do not have to rape street kids for the pleasure of white men in far away lands. They choose to do so. Don't come to me with your excuses about poverty either. Plenty of impoverished people do not sexually abuse their children to strangers online.
As long as Filipinos are willing to sell themselves and their children to white men this evil business will continue to exist.
