Alleged pedophile planned ‘50 Shades’ with minors – PNP

- – Emmanuel Tupas

An American man, recently arrested by authoritie­s, was planning to reenact scenes from the erotic movie “50 Shades of Grey” with Filipino minors, officials from the Philippine National Police’s Women and Children Protection Center (WCPC) said yesterday.

Alleged pedophile Robin Hoyt Alderman, 58, a yoga instructor, reportedly contacted through social media three minors, aged 14 and 15, who were reportedly willing to perform lewd acts with the foreigner.

However, law enforcers arrested Alderman upon his arrival at Ninoy Aquino Internatio­nal Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 on Oct. 15 following a tip from the United States Homeland Security after a social media provider informed the US government of Hoyt’s activities.

Police charged him with violation of Republic Act 10365 or the Expanded Anti-Human Traffickin­g Law before the Department of Justice last Oct. 19.

Senior Superinten­dent Villamor Tuliao, who heads the WCPC Anti-Traffickin­g in Persons Division, said they have the names of the victims, who are from Manila.

The online conversati­on between Alderman and the minors were graphic and showed the girls were willing victims.

“What he wants to do with the victims were just like those from ‘50 Shades of Grey,’” Tuliao said.

The suspect planned to rent an apartment where he will document their activities. He also told the three minors of his plan to buy a van and a motorcycle, which he will use to abduct homeless children whom he will sexually abuse, Tuliao said.

Seized from Alderman’s possession were assorted sex toys, mobile phones, a laptop, face masks and pills.

“We have reasons to believe that aside from his sexual perversion, he is also making videos which he will sell,” Tuliao said.
