An Australian man has been sentenced to 129 years in a Philippine jail as part of a child sexual abuse case involving victims as young as 18 months, a prosecutor said Wednesday. It was the second conviction for Peter Gerard Scully, who is already serving a life sentence for an initial batch of charges involving the rape and trafficking of girls.
'They all want to put closure to this dark phase of their lives and move on,' the statement reads. 'Big victory' Victims included an 18-month-old baby girl and a child whose body was found buried under the floor of a house rented by Scully, Barola-Uy said. 'This is a big victory, not only for us prosecutors in the Department of Justice, but more importantly this is a big victory for the victim-survivors,' she said.
