He was already registered as a sex offender in the U.S. for raping a 14-year-old girl. Yet, he managed to gain entry to the Philippines, where he proceeded to produce child pornorgraphy.
Now, a Los Angeles man named Stanley Dan Reczko, 50, has been convicted of sexual exploitation for producing child pornography in the Philippines. He was sentenced to life without parole by a U.S. district judge.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Stephanie Yonekura said: “Even though he has previously served prison time for the rape of a minor, this punishment did not deter his behavior. In light of his recidivism, the life prison sentence is richly deserved.”
Mark Selby, deputy special agent for Homeland Security Investigations said, “This sentence should serve as a warning to sexual predators who mistakenly believe they can escape justice by exploiting children overseas. There can be no place for the abuse of foreign children by our citizens, and HSI will seek to vindicate the rights of those victims no matter how far they live from our shores. Fortunately, the sentence imposed today virtually assures that no additional children will be harmed by this defendant.” (Read more from Balitang America.)
