Philippines blacklists Australian pedophile

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine government has banned from entering the country a convicted Australian sex offender previously intercepted by local immigration officers.
 
Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. ordered the inclusion of Scot William Ilyes, 38, in the immigration blacklist upon learning that he was turned back by authorities at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) last April 4 .
 
Ilyes arrived on a Cebu Pacific flight from Singapore and carried a New Zealand passport, according to David.
 
The official added that Ilyes is a convicted pedophile and was banned from coming here to prevent him from victimizing Filipino children.
 
Lawyer Ma. Antonette Mangrobang, BI acting intelligence chief, said Australian law enforcers tipped NAIA immigration officials about Ilyes’s scheduled trip to the Philippines.
 
Ilyes' itinerary showed that from Manila, he would take a connecting flight to Iloilo and stay there for two weeks before returning to Australia .
 
Citing a report from the Australian federal police, Mangrobang said the sex offender was convicted by a district court in the city of Perth, on February 25, 2010.
 
He was sentenced to a year in prison after being charged and found guilty on multiple counts of indecent assault against children aged 13-16 years old.
 
But his sentence was later conditionally suspended for two years during which he was under probation and supervision.
