Girls rescued from cyber porn

PHILIPPINES: Authorities have rescued four girls and arrested a mother and two other women for allegedly livestreaming sexually exploitative videos of children to men paying by the minute to watch from the United States.

Three sisters ages 8, 9 and 12, and an 11-year-old found in a separate rescue, are now in a shelter for abused children.

The arrests came two weeks after Filipino authorities raided the US home of David Timothy Deakin, 53, and arrested him on suspected cybersex crimes.

During that bust, agents rescued two girls, 10 and 12, who had spent time in Deakin’s home, and made one of the largest seizures of illicit digital content in the Philippines. –AP
