Peter Scully

In October 2015, a fire severely damaged the evidence room containing Scully's computer logs and videos, destroying key evidence. Some believe Scully may have bribed a local police officer, as corruption in the Philippines is high. On 13 June 2018, Scully, and his girlfriend Alvarez, were sentenced to life in prison.

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. Scully was alleged to have given the girls alcohol and forced them to perform sex acts on each other which he photographed and filmed. 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. 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.

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, published it publicly. 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, all relating to the abduction and sexual abuse of the two cousins. 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. 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.

Scully faced a total of 75 charges. He was on trial with others who assisted in the production of his pornography, including four men — Germany's Christian Rouche, Filipinos Alexander Lao and Althea Chia, and Brazilian doctor Haniel Caetano de Oliveira.

The most notorious of Scully's output was a video titled Daisy's Destruction (or Dafu Love), which he sold to clients for up to $10,000. Made in 2012, the multi-part film is so extreme that it was, for some time, regarded as an urban legend. 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).

Peter Scully lived in the Narre Warren suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with his wife and two children prior to fleeing to the City of Manila, Philippines, in 2011 before he could be charged with his involvement in a property scheme that cost investors over $2.68 million. Prior to leaving Victoria, he operated an unlicensed escort service website which offered his Malaysian girlfriend as a prostitute. The Australian Securities and Investment Commission found him involved in 117 fraud and deception offenses relating to real estate scams from an investigation started in 2009. From the island of Mindanao, he 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 videos ordeals sold over the Internet was an 18-month-old infant who was hung upside down while Scully and two accomplices raped and tortured her.

Peter Gerald Scully (born 13 January 1963) is a convicted Australian child rapist serving a life sentence in prison in the Philippines. 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.
