Peter Gerard Scully, 59, along with three locals, was accused of qualified trafficking in persons, syndicated child pornography, child abuse, rape, and photo and video voyeurism, victimizing seven girls, with one as young as 18 months.
She said Lao was included in the case due to his role as the driver for Scully and was charged with trafficking.Like Scully, Margallo will also be serving a longer prison time, as she was sentenced to 126 years in jail. “After five years of prosecuting the cases, finally, the accused have decided to enter into a plea bargaining agreement. They pleaded guilty to the charges so they could be given shorter sentences. And we welcome that development, since, except for three of the victims, all the accusers are now adults,” Barola-Uy said.
