Philippines to deport US paedophile

The

Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration said yesterday it had arrested a convicted American paedophile wanted by US authorities for a string of crimes.

Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said 38-year-old Cody Dean Turner was arrested on Sunday in his house in northern Tuguegarao City on the request of the US Embassy.

The American, whose passport has been revoked by the State Department, will be deported for being an undocumented and undesirable alien who poses a risk to public safety, Morente said. (AP)
