In this part of the video, the presenters discuss a difficult and deeply disturbing episode centered around the criminal actions of Peter Scully. Despite initial hesitations to cover the topic, they felt it necessary due to significant audience requests and the importance of not allowing victims to be forgotten. The video discusses Scully’s background, including his claim of being harmed by a priest and his seemingly normal life with a wife and children in Melbourne, Australia. However, Scully’s life took a dark turn involving criminal activities such as real estate fraud and operating an unlicensed online companion service.
To evade prosecution, Scully fled to the Philippines, where he escalated his criminality by exploiting vulnerable individuals, particularly minors, through a company called “No Limits Fun.” This company was notorious for producing and live-streaming videos of severe harm and sexual abuse against children, available for consumption by paying viewers. The video warns that this content is incredibly distressing, containing themes of sexual abuse and extreme harm involving minors.

In this segment, the video discusses Peter Scully’s dark web activities, highlighting his disturbing exploitation and abuse of minors, some as young as 18 months old. Scully charged up to ten thousand dollars for viewing his content, and he coerced impoverished families into giving up their children under false promises of food and education. He also had accomplices, including Carmen Alvarez and Lizel Margallo, with Margallo being trafficked herself. Another individual, Matthew David Graham, known as Lux, distributed Scully’s videos via the “Hurt to the Core” website, expanding their reach globally. One video, “Daisy’s Destruction,” drew significant law enforcement attention due to its extreme content. Scully was eventually arrested in the Philippines on February 20, 2015, facing numerous charges, including homicide and abduction. An international manhunt led to his capture, catalyzed by the video “Daisy’s Destruction” and evidence gathered by the Dutch police.

In this part of the video, it is revealed that despite severe physical injuries, two individuals named Queenie and Daisy survived because Alvarez freed them from captivity. However, Daisy’s injuries are so severe that doctors believe she will never bear children. Authorities, with Margallo’s help, recovered Cindy’s remains. Graham, also known as Lux, received a 15-year sentence, described as inadequate by the judge due to the gravity of his crimes. During Scully’s trial, an evidence room fire destroyed crucial materials, which he might have orchestrated through police bribery. Despite this, the case was strong; prosecutor Ruby Mollinog was deeply affected by the evidence. Scully showed no true remorse and pleaded not guilty, forcing victims to testify. Scully allegedly continued his operations from prison. Several accomplices, including a German man and various nationals, were arrested. Scully was sentenced to life in prison in 2018 and remains a difficult prisoner, demanding privileges. Alvarez was also sentenced to life and both were fined. The case has reignited debates about capital punishment in the Philippines.

The segment also touches on the notorious case of “Daisy’s Destruction,” which resurfaced in 2021 after Josh Duggar’s arrest for downloading illicit material.

At just 18, while finishing high school and later studying nanotechnology at university, Graham transformed into a major figure in illicit online content through his site ‘Hurt to the Core.’ Initially intrigued by hacking group Anonymous’ fight against illegal content, Graham instead connected with content producers and escalated his involvement. His site drew substantial traffic, including disturbing posts of individuals harming children. Diagnosed with personality disorders and mental health issues, Graham claimed detachment from the suffering he propagated.
