Peter Scully

Peter Gerard Scully (born January 13, 1963) is an Australian child molester guilty of the murder of an 11-year-old girl, and of the torture and sexual abuse of at least eight girls, including an 18-month-old infant.

In 2011, Scully fled from Melbourne, Australia, to the Philippines after being accused of multiple fraud offences. From the southern Philippines island of Mindanao, he is alleged to have run an international pedophile ring and offered pay-per-view video streams of children being tortured and sexually abused on the dark web including a video titled Daisy's Destruction.[1][2]

On February 20, 2015, Scully was arrested in his rented house in Malaybalay City after investigators discovered the remains of a teenage girl, Rosie, buried under an apartment he had rented. He allegedly strangled her to death according to police who were led to the apartment by Scully's partner, a 17-year-old Filipino girl, who was also a prior victim of his abuse.[2][3]

Philippine authorities described the case as horrific and the worst they had ever seen.
