The Bureau of Immigration said the Canadian is wanted in connection with alleged abuse cases in Thailand and Cambodia. The agency also said he had previously faced a case in Cambodia.

Sy added, "May mga dati rin siyang kaso sa Thailand and Cambodia kung saan sinasabi sa Cambodia ay convicted siya for a child s*xual offense."

The BI also disclosed that the suspect is the subject of an Interpol Green Notice. However, authorities obtained his passport only in 2018, by which time he was already in the Philippines.

In addition to the cases abroad, the Bureau of Immigration said the Canadian had also been reported twice in the Philippines over alleged abuse involving male minors.
