Peter Gerard Scully (born 13 January 1963) is an Australian who is, as of July 2017, on trial in the Philippines for numerous crimes against children, including the production and dissemination of sadistic child pornography, torture, rape and murder.
In 2011, Scully fled from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to the Philippines before he could be charged with 117 fraud and deception offences relating to his involvement with a crooked property scheme. From the island of Mindanao, Philippines, he is alleged to have then built up a lucrative international paedophile ring that offered pay-per-view video streams of children being tortured and sexually abused on the dark web. Among the victims who had their videoed ordeals sold over the internet was a five-year-old girl who was hung upside down while Scully and two accomplices raped and tortured her.
Victims were procured by Scully himself with promises to impoverished parents of work, educating their child and the like, or by his two Philippine girlfriends, Carme Ann Alvarez and Liezyl Margallo, and other female acquaintances like Maria Dorothea Chi y Chia. Both Alvarez and Margallo also abused children in Scully's videos.
One instance involved the entrapment of two cousins, aged 9 and 12, who might perhaps have narrowly avoided being murdered. After Alvarez, a former child prostitute whom Scully had picked up off the streets and groomed to be a compliant accomplice, had coaxed the two girls back to Scully's abode with a promise of food, he forced them to perform sex acts on each other, which he photographed and videoed. With Alvarez's assistance, Scully also sexually abused both of them. The girls were kept chained in dog collars and, after an escape attempt, were made to dig what they were threatened would be their own graves. After five days of abuse, Alvarez took pity on them, releasing them and letting them escape. The cousins went to the police, whereafter Alvarez was arrested and Scully went on the run.
The most heinous of Scully's sickening output was entitled Daisy's Destruction, which he sold to clients for up to $10,000. Made in 2012, the multi-part film is so extreme that it was for some time regarded as an urban legend. It features the torture and brutal rape of a number of girls by Scully and some Filipina accomplices, the three biggest victims of whom were Liza (aged 12), Cindy (11), and Daisy (18 months).
Urged on by Scully, some of the worst physical and sexual abuse was meted out to the children by one of his girlfriends, Liezyl Margallo, a former child prostitute then 19 years old. Indeed, it seems Margallo was the sole hands-on victimiser of Daisy: the introduction to the film invites the viewer to watch Daisy's "mental ruin" as she "learn[s] how to please her mistress".
