American arrested in Philippines cybersex raid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine police arrested a 39-year-old American man after raiding a "cybersex" den he was suspected of running near a former U.S. airforce base north of the capital Manila, officials said on Tuesday.

Police said Monday's raid was the 10th such operation to be raided in August as they step up their campaign against Internet pornography rings that are often run by foreigners.

The dens charge customers, mostly Western men, a few dollars to watch images of Philippine women and girls through webcam technology.

Salvador Manga, head of the region's criminal investigation team, said police found six women, including two minors, working as "models" in an Internet cafe in Angeles City operated by James Paul Kelly, an American who held a Philippine tourist visa.

Police said they were searching for Kelly's partner who was believed to be Canadian.

"They violated several Philippine laws for operating a pornographic site," Manga told reporters.

"They were not supposed to be operating any business in the country".

Catholic Church officials and non-government organisations have been raising pressure on the authorities to crack down on Web sites run by foreign pornography syndicates.

Police said an American husband and wife escaped arrest last week when they raided another Internet cafe in Angeles City.

In May, two Dutch brothers died during a shootout when police raided a cybersex den in Manila.

well, those guys are shooting underage girls... and it is illegal to do porn in the philippines, so it's not like it was a surprise.

Someone posted this the other day here and I mentioned you. Was wondering if that's why you left.

Pretty strange dichotomy they have in that country isn't it?

Makes you wonder if they monitor the uploads/downloads and if porn is ok but cam work isn't? Like uploading to update your sites etc? What do you think?

SOme do shoot underage, the guys I knew did NOT, including all of those referred to in the article.

REAL false ID's are rife and underage is ALWAYS the line used when the police want to stitch someone up.

Laws are fine, full on corruption is another story altogether.

And that country is well beyond all fucked up.

Uploading to sites and even having legal porn on your computer are all at risk.

They do not have specific laws there, it is a public morality law.

And it is ALL about he with the pesos has the say so.

Don't think it is any other way.
