“Slade, 74, was ordered deported after the BI Board of Commissioners found him to be an undesirable foreign national for inviting young boys to perform sexual acts for him in exchange for money,” said BI Commissioner Siegfred Mison.
In a resolution issued on July 23, 2015, the BI based the order to deport on the following reasons:
a. A summary of Slade’s history of arrest and sexual misdeeds compiled from open source reporting, online-media publications, and news reports;
b. Website pages detailing Slade’s offenses and abuses towards children;
c. News reports; and
d. Confirmation from the UK government of criminal charges against Slade, including buggery, gross indecency, and indecent assault against children.
Slade, a permanent resident of the Philippines, lived for 10 years in Angeles City, near a school, making it easy for him to lure children to his home.
Allegedly, boys as young as eight years old lined up outside his house and were paid PHP150 to pose for nude photos and to perform sex acts on him.
He was also re-arrested after indecent images of boys were found in his laptop. Parents of his alleged victims, all under the age of 12, positively identified their children in the photographs, and attested that Slade molested them.
A total of five criminal cases were filed against him, all of which were dismissed.
In January 26, he was charged as an undesirable alien by the Bureau of Immigration. He denied the charges and claimed that the accusations against him are “make believe” and is a “magical fantasy”.
“However, we find that Slade’s reported acts pose a significant risk and threat to our children’s wellbeing-a concern which is considered in the utmost interest of the State,” explained Mison.
Slade’s name has been included in the BI’s blacklist as a consequence of his deportation.
