The Filipino woman who was allegedly trafficking children and who lured children for the 'Daisy's Destruction' was arrested on Thursday, February 16.
City Prosecutor Merlyn Uy said that Ma. Dorothea Chia was the supposed female accomplice transporting children for Peter Gerard Scully, the Australian sex offender and producer of the snuff video.
Chia, however, denied the allegations, said Chief Inspector Maricris Mulat.
"Ingon siya kato daw si Lao mao ang gasakay sa mga bata kay lahi man daw ga-contact unya lahi dayon maghatod. Siya gauban lang ug dihang gituhog-tuhog na kinsa ang mga tawo gahatod maong naapil siya. [She said Lao transported the children since their contact person is different from the ones who transported]," Mulat said.
According to Uy, Chia and her ex-lover Alexander Lao, who was arrested last year, were helping Sully by transporting the child victims to him since before the arrest. The Australian have been moving from places to places to evade authorities.
Lao, who is facing criminal charges with Chia, was earlier arrested in November 11, 2016, at Barra, Opol, Misamis Oriental.
"Sila ang gadala sa mga bata like sa Davao ug katong sa Surigao nga eventually napatay. Even wala sila sa act but the child was trafficked man apil sila (They transported the children like the ones in Davao and Surigao, but eventually abused to death. Even though they were not in the act but the child was trafficked, so they are still liable)," Uy said.
"For a time gi-keep nila sa ilang balay like katong namatay nga biktima sa Surigao naghangyo si Scully nga diha sa sa ilang balay ayha gihatod kang Scully (they keep the victim from Surigao since Scully asked them to bring to their house before transferring to him)," Uy added.
According to reports, Chia has decided to face the charges knowing the police has been tracking her whereabouts.
Mulat added they keep on going back to a call center company in the city where Chia is presently working.
The arrest warrants was issued by different courts October last year, and since then, the police have been exerting efforts to serve the court order. Through information from tipsters, Chia no longer resisted arrest when the police arrived at her residence.
Mulat said Chia belonged to an average family and may have been influenced by her former live-in partner. Mulat added that Lao was also likely involved in illegal drug activities. Mulat said Chia has no more contacts and information about the other respondents of the case that remained in hiding.
"Ingon siya ang uban iyang nailhan while ang uban sa nawong lang niya naila (She said he knows some but the rest are only by facial recognition)," Mulat added.
