Daisy 27s Destruction Full Video Movie
Peter Gerard/Gerald Scully (born 13 January 1963) is an Australian man imprisoned for life in the Philippines after being convicted of one count of human trafficking and five counts of rape by sexual assault of underage girls.[2] He is pending trial for other crimes against children, including the production and dissemination of child pornography, torture, and the alleged murder of an 11-year-old girl.
Background[edit]
Peter Scully lived in the Narre Warren suburb of Melbourne with his wife and two children prior to fleeing to the City of Manila, Philippines, in 2011[1][3] before he could be charged with his involvement in a property scheme that cost investors over $2.68 million.[1] According to his own statement, he was sexually abused by a priest in Victoria when he grew up.[3] Prior to leaving Melbourne, he operated an unlicensed online escort service which offered his Malaysian girlfriend as a sex worker. The Australian Securities and Investment Commission also found Scully involved in 117 fraud and deception offenses relating to real estate scams from an investigation started in 2009.[1]
From the island of Mindanao, Scully is alleged to have built up a lucrative international child sexual abuse ring that offered pay-per-view video streams of children being tortured and sexually abused on the dark web. Among the victims who had their ordeals recorded and sold over the Internet was an 18-month-old infant who was hung upside down while Scully and two accomplices raped and tortured her.[4]
Victims were procured by Scully with promises to impoverished parents of work, education, or were solicited by his two Filipino girlfriends, Carme Ann Alvarez and Liezyl Margallo,[3] and other female acquaintances such as Maria Dorothea Chi y Chia.[5] Both Alvarez and Margallo also abused children in Scully's videos.
In 2016, prosecutors in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines alleged that Scully and a girlfriend coaxed two teenage girls to come to Scully's house with the promise of food.[3] Scully was alleged to have given the girls alcohol and forced them to perform sex acts on each other which he photographed and filmed.[3] The prosecutor alleged that when the girls tried to escape, Scully forced them to dig graves in the basement of the house and threatened that he would bury them there.[3] After five days, the girls were released by the girlfriend who began feeling remorse after coming home to see the two in pet collars and reported what had happened.[3]
Daisy's Destruction[edit]
The most notorious of Scully's output was a video titled Daisy's Destruction, which he sold to clients for up to $10,000 on his secret dark web child pornography site 'No limits fun' ('NLF').[3] Made in 2012, the multi-part film is so extreme that it was for some time regarded as an urban legend.[6] It features the torture and brutal rape of a number of girls by Scully and some Filipina accomplices; the three main victims were Liza (aged 12), Cindy (11) and Daisy (18 months).[7]
Urged on by Scully, some of the most severe physical abuse was carried out on the children by one of his girlfriends, then 19-year-old Liezyl Margallo, who was formerly prostituted as a child.[8] It appears Margallo was the sole hands-on victimizer of Daisy: the introduction to the film invites the viewer to watch Daisy's 'mental ruin' as she 'learn[s] how to please her mistress'.[9]
Among those who acquired it was one of the biggest-ever purveyors of child pornography, Scully's fellow Australian Matthew David Graham, better known by his online pseudonym Lux. Apprehended at age 22, he ran a series of 'hurtcore' child pornography sites.[10][11] Graham said he got the video so he could use it to attract more viewers to his network of websites.
Arrest and trial[edit]
Full Movie
Prior to the video gaining attention by the general public, Scully broadcast Daisy's Destruction privately on a pay-per-view basis. Matthew Graham, with access to the video, eventually publicized it some time after its production.[12] Due to the content, it quickly garnered attention by law enforcement and media alike. The Dutch National Child Exploitation Team was the first to open an investigation with the goal of locating the victims. Subsequently, an international manhunt for those responsible for the video's production was launched. Scully was eventually tracked to Malaybalay City in the Philippines and arrested on 20 February 2015. Investigators had six warrants for his arrest,[9] all relating to the abduction and sexual abuse of the two cousins.[3][failed verification] While they searched for Scully in the Philippines, investigators managed to uncover the fates of the three primary victims in Daisy's Destruction. Liza was found to be alive as was Daisy, though her treatment had been so vicious that she has lasting physical injuries. Eleven-year-old Cindy had been murdered, allegedly by Scully.[9] Before being strangled to death with a rope, the girl was subjected to bouts of rape and torture and was made to dig her own grave. According to Margallo, Scully videotaped himself killing Cindy.[9]
Scully faced a total of 75 charges[3] and, according to German television news channel n-tv, raped 75 children.[13] He was on trial with others who assisted in the production of his pornography, including four men: German Christian Rouche, Filipinos Alexander Lao and Althea Chia, and Brazilian Haniel Caetano de Oliveira.[4][14][15]
In a 2015 interview with Tara Brown on 60 Minutes, Scully said that he is currently writing a tell-all journal in prison where he will reflect on his motivations for raping young children.[16]
In October 2015, a fire severely damaged the evidence room containing Scully's computer logs and videos, destroying key evidence.[17] Some believe Scully may have bribed a local police officer,[18][19] as corruption in the Philippines is very common.[20][failed verification] On 13 June 2018, Scully and his girlfriend Alvarez were sentenced to life in prison.[21] Both Scully and his sister complained about the conditions in the jail Scully is held.[3]
Margaret Akullo, then-Project Coordinator for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and an expert on child abuse investigations,[22] described the case as 'horrific' and the worst she had ever heard of.
