Cpl. Jared Clarke had put the Philip Chicoine child pornography case out of his mind until he got a surprise call from Philippine police last month.
He had spent $23,000 on child sex abuse images and videos, which mainly came from the woman’s home in the Philippines.In chat messages read out in court, child victims offered Chicoine images in return for money to pay off debts. He would then share their images online.including child luring, making and sharing child pornography and arranging to commit sexual offences against children.
“The charges that she was arrested on and then subsequently found guilty and sentenced on weren’t from her interactions with Chicoine. They were just from the interactions as part of an undercover operation that the PNP and IJM did.” He said his job was to lay the groundwork for how the woman was identified, and why she was investigated by the local authorities.
“It was apparent that these people had money. Now where that was coming from — we now know. It was kind of surreal to see that, and then from all the evidence that I had gone through, immediately you saw the pink stucco that you had seen in the background of these pictures.” “I know from talking with the investigators there that it was common because again, the people that were involved in this had money, right? And when you’re dealing with such poverty and despair, money talks. So some of these kids were there because they were getting food, because they were getting shelter.”Clarke had put the case — one of the most difficult he ever worked on — out of his mind until he got a phone call from Philippine police, five years later, that took him by surprise.
