MANILA, July 6 — A South Korean man in his 50s has been arrested in the Philippines on charges of child abuse, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, following allegations that he fathered a child with a 14-year-old Filipino girl he had been living with.<\/p>\n

According to Hankook Ilbo<\/em>, Philippine authorities said the suspect, identified only as “A”, was detained on June 11 in Cagayan de Oro City.<\/p>\n

The arrest followed a tip-off from the country’s cybercrime investigators, who flagged a YouTube video that raised suspicions of child exploitation.<\/p>\n

Police rescued the teenage girl, referred to as “B”, along with her two-month-old baby, believed to have been fathered by the suspect.<\/p>\n

The case is being pursued under multiple Philippine laws, including the Anti-Rape Law and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the man had used a YouTube channel purportedly created to help underprivileged Filipino children, soliciting donations from South Korean viewers under the guise of charity work.<\/p>\n

However, authorities believe the channel masked exploitative behaviour.<\/p>\n

Online crime-monitoring group Crime Net has claimed that the man is behind a YouTube account that regularly posted videos of children in poor communities, a practice critics have labelled “poverty porn”.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s final video, uploaded on the day of his arrest, reportedly included a reference to the underage girl’s baby: “Born on April 24. My first baby.”<\/p>\n

Crime Net also pointed out that some of the videos had depicted the girl’s pregnancy, with commenters now questioning whether the suspect was documenting his own crimes.<\/p>\n

“This is horrifying,” wrote one viewer. Others posted comments such as “Do not donate” and “I saw the devil,” reflecting the widespread outrage online.<\/p>\n

The Korean Embassy in the Philippines has not issued a statement, but the case has sparked strong reactions in both countries, with calls for tighter oversight of overseas-based online content creators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
