Prosecutors in the Philippines have revealed they will call for the death penalty to be re-introduced in the case of alleged Australian child sex predator and ‘dark web’ mastermind Peter Scully.
Chief prosecutor Jaime Umpa told Fairfax Media that the 52 year-old Scully’s deeds were the most shocking cases of child abuse and trafficking officials had seen.
On Tuesday, Scully was led handcuffed into a court in the southern Philippines to face the first six of 75 charges that could see him become the first person to received the death penalty in the Philippines in more than a decade. During the hearing he laughed and joked with his co-accused.
While naked and masked, one of Scully’s two Philippine girlfriends is alleged to have inflicted the pain on the baby girl in a video called “Daisy’s Destruction” that Scully is alleged to have sold to internet clients for up to $10,000.
In it, her feet tie the baby girl upside down while she is sexually assaulted. The girlfriend also allegedly bashed the baby, who survived and has been returned to the care of her parents, but remains deeply traumatized and become hysterical when memory of her abuse is triggered.

Scully schould be given the same treatment he gave his victims
Hang him
Far Far worse happens behind closed doors of the ultra rich elite, there just isn’t any video evidence of it. Daisys destruction is nothing in comparison.
Death penalty is too good and quick for someone like him. He should be made to suffer the same way as that poor hapless child.
