Bureau of Immigration to deport American sex offender

-

MANILA, Philippines - The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is set to deport an American national for being reportedly being a sex offender and an overstaying alien.

The BI arrested David Lawrence Fiske, 49, last Sept. 17 at his pension house unit in Malate, Manila.

BI chief Marcelino Libanan ordered that summary deportation proceedings be initiated against Fiske so he could face trial in the US.

BI-Interpol chief Floro Balato Jr. said Fiske is the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant issued by a district court in Harris County, Texas for his failure to register as a sex offender. He said the US State Department canceled Fiske’s passport upon learning he had fled to the Philippines.

“Fiske also fraudulently used an Australian passport to escape arrest upon entering the Philippines,” Balato said.

Fiske, upon his arrest, yielded a laptop filled with photographs of girls. BI investigators said Fiske allegedly enticed his victims to pose nude in front of a computer.

The BI said Fiske arrived in the Philippines as a tourist from Thailand last June 22. Investigators said Fiske enticed girls in Thailand to pose naked in exchange for money or by promising to marry them and bring them to the US.

He was already overstaying at the time of his arrest as he failed to extend his stay when it expired last Aug. 20.           – Rudy Santos
