Calls for death penalty for ‘world’s worst paedophile who made girl dig her own grave’


Tanveer Mann for Metro.co.uk Friday 23 Sep 2016 4:50 pm




Prosecutors in the Philippines are calling for the death penalty as punishment for a man said to be the ‘world’s worst paedophile’.

Peter Scully, a 53-year-old father-of-two, is accused of carrying out sexual abuse and torture on young children and filming it before selling it to other paedophiles around the world.

He appeared in a Philippine court on Tuesday charged with the first six of 75 charges.

And they just elected Rodrigo Duterte.

I do not wish on him even what he did to his victims, but if Duterte treats pedophiles like he treats drug dealers...

This guy was arrested and is going to court. That's a good thing.

I hope justice is served.

I've heard these kind of stories for years. White guys travelling there to abuse and take advantage of poor people who have no way out of the extreme poverty. And then there's guys who'll fuck around with the women and then abandon the kids there.

I lived in Cambodia for a while and there is a similar thing there. Old men exploiting young women who are essentially sent out by their families to earn money in the sex industry. It's a really sad state of affairs.

Interestingly, its not just men who travel the world for sex tourism. Though the impact is a lot less with female tourists (no children involved).

Shirley Valentine, Paradise Lost, and Going South. I've only seen the last one though, which is pretty good.

If he's dead, he's dead. No suffering, no penitence, no nothing. Not even solace for his victims.

Stick him some place miserable and wish him a long life. The worst punishment I can imagine is for him to eventually realize what he did and have to live with it. Alone.

if the charges are even remotely true, I simply wouldn't care if they placed this monster in general population in prison. Justice still wouldn't be done. but it would be a good start.

death is too easy. Many of those who are put to death have their come to jesus moment and totally believe that they're heading for a place of peace with streets of gold when in fact they're only going to return to worm dirt like the rest of us when we die. In the mean time they escape the horrors of living with the atrocities they committed.

I'm against the death penalty and for the reason I stated.

Death is too easy for people like this monster.

Concrete cell. Concrete bed. Not a blade of grass in the weekly exercise area.

Just sit around and live in your head for the rest of your days.

Convict him, put him into a bare concrete cell for 23 hours per day. Keep him warehoused there until he dies, either through old age or suicide. Would have been a better punishment than shooting him.

is the waiting and knowing that it's coming and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. I also don't mind the idea of knowing that you're going to hell.

Lock the bastard up and throw away the key. He doesn't deserve to live among the general public ever again. Sicko.

and throw him into the general population with ZERO protection.

No death penalty needed. His life will be utter hell on earth, for short while he is alive.

It worked like a charm on Dahmer.
