AGENTS of the Bureau of Immigration arrested a 64-year-old British national for allegedly running a child porn website in the country.
Suspect John Crotty was arrested last Sept. 15 in his rented home in Tangub City, Misamis Occidental.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said Crotty was also investigated for alleged film piracy after arresting officers found evidences of him distributing obscene photos of underage Filipino girls on his website and social media accounts.
Crotty, a convicted sex offender, was reportedly jailed for nine years in the United Kingdom but moved to the Philippines shortly after his release from prison.
Tansingco said the operation was conducted by joint enforcers from the BI’s Fugitive Search Unit and Intelligence Division, in coordination with the Tangub City police.
