“So we were taken to this location,” Carney recounts on the podcast. On June 2, 2015, Australian broadcaster ABC published Carney’s report on Scully’s arrest, which ran with a warning that the segment contained “distressing material.” “I’m not a person to subscribe to simple notions of good and evil, but if there is evil in this world, it is Peter Scully and what he did to that 18-month-old baby in his video.” “I’ve covered 25 years upon six and seeing the most horrendous things, but what this man did to this 18-month-old child just beggars-it’s inexpressible,” Carney recounts on the podcast. That experience still disturbs Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s correspondent Matthew Carney, who has covered wars and atrocities around the globe and still remembers that assignment as particularly grueling.

Peter Scully, who is currently serving a life sentence in the Philippines for human trafficking and rape, created videos of his child abuse for an international audience and disseminated them on the dark web. Law&Crime’s podcast “Objections” explores the crime case behind that video, which was created by an Australian man described by international tabloids as the “ world’s worst pedophile.” The agent testified that one video titled “Daisy’s Destruction,” showing the rape of an 18-month old girl, ranked among the “Top five worst of the worst” that he ever had to examine.
