Mr Lee Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Whoops, seems they were running a match making website which is illegal in the Philippines. Be careful what you post on sites like facebook, because your photo could end up on a site such as that without your permission since it seems that was where he got the sisters photos. BTW the punishment for this supposed crime is heavy duty. :o You would think the Philippine govt would wish to marry off more of its people, so more money would come home. Lawyer Arcelito Albao, NBI Davao spokesperson, said the respondents may face a minimum imprisonment of 20 years and a penalty of P1 million up to life imprisonment. The respondents were charged with violation of Republic Act (RA) 7610, otherwise known as "Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act;" violation of RA 6955, otherwise known as Anti-Mail Order Bride, unjust vexation; and violation of RA 9208, otherwise known as Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, based on the joint affidavit-complaint filed by the sisters of the live-in partner.Court records show that the two were arrested by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) at Tessa's Place in Gravahan, Matina, Davao City, around 9:30 p.m. of July 6, by virtue of a search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Executive Judge Isaac Robillo Jr.In a joint affidavit, the 15-year-old girl and her other sister claimed that their photographs were posted in a match-making website "Pinoy Marry" on May 30, 2011 by the Japanese man, whom they regard as their brother-in-law, being the partner of their sister.The story HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollygoodfellow Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 then I wonder why there are so many dating sites online & nobody goes after them? Most likely because those other sites are hosted in another country so the Philippines can not do a thing about them.The dating site in question here may not be hosted in the Philippines but at the bottom of the site it has a Philippines office address.
