Aussie, Pinay wife held for cybersex operation

BAGUIO CITY — A joint team of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Cordillera and the Special Action Force (SAF) arrested an Australian national and his Filipina wife last Sunday for operating a cybersex shop here.

Senior Superintendent Marvin Bolabola, CIDG-Cordillera chief, said the suspects, Peter Frederick Hall, 54, and his wife, Priscilla Balaay, 31, both now detained at the Abra provincial jail, were arrested after five girls complained that they asked them to engage in cybersex with foreigners on several occasions between Feb. 21 and March 4 this year at their Internet café here.

Several months ago, CIDG-Cordillera operatives also raided a cybersex den in downtown Baguio City. — Artemio Dumlao
