American wanted for child porn nabbed




PANGASINAN (UPDATE) – An American wanted in the United States for child pornography was arrested in Dagupan, Pangasinan on Wednesday.
The fugitive, Brian Thomas Stickney, was arrested in his home by combined forces of the Bureau of Immigration (BI), Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Stickney was indicted for 15 counts of receipt and possession of child sexual abuse images in 2012.
It was in 2008 when FBI agents seized numerous computers and hard drives in the suspect’s home in North Carolina and discovered thousands of child pornography images, including that of his own daughter.

Stickney left the US and arrived in the Philippines in 2010. “I was never indicted in the US,” he said.

Stickney’s Filipina wife, Fe, said she had no idea that her husband is wanted in the US. “Hindi ko alam, hindi ako makapag-isip ng maayos. Nagulat ako,” she said.

Authorities first discovered the suspect’s whereabouts when he posted the sale of a pitbull in a local website.An agent of the CIDG met with the suspect and upon positive identification, sought a summary deportation order from the BI.

“Nakipag-meeting ang isa nating asset at dinetermine natin ang exact location,” said Col. Harris Fama.

Stickney will be brought to the BI office for processing and then to a detention center in Bicutan.

Authorities say it may take 1 to 2 weeks before the suspect can be deported to the US.

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday.
