NBI rescues 5 minor victims of sex exploitation in Leyte
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Human Trafficking Division, with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), rescued five siblings in Leyte from alleged abuse by their mother's Austrian boyfriend.
Austrian authorities initially arrested the foreign suspect for allegedly spreading child sexual abuse materials online.
The investigation was initiated after Austrian police found evidence of communication and child sexual abuse materials between the suspect and a Filipina.
The suspect reportedly presented himself as a 'father figure' and provided financial support, but allegedly took advantage of the children when their mother was absent.
Evidence, including chat logs in English and German, was found showing explicit conversations between the suspect and the victims, leading to charges related to Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSAEC).
