SAN FRANCISCO — A British news website is reporting that a notorious pedophile with a history of arrests has built a house in the Philippines, overlooking an elementary school and allegedly lures pupils as young as eight into his home where he abuses them for the price of a pair of flip-flops.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail Online, Douglas Slade, 73, a wealthy founder of the vilified Paedophile Information Exchange, which campaigned for child sex in the 1970s, has been repeatedly arrested for taking nude photos and molesting underage boys in the Philippines.

He is out on bail for cases involving pupils from the Amsic Elementary School in Angeles City, but he continues to lure students and paying them the equivalent of two pounds a time for sex acts and photos, neighbors told the Mail Online.

Slade, a widower who grew rich from a food business he set up after moving to the Philippines in 1985, donates money to the school, which claims it has received no complaints about him from parents.

He has repeatedly had child sex charges against him dropped and was caught on camera in an ITV documentary in 1995 boasting that he could avoid conviction by bribing prosecutors and the families of victims.

Slade built a new home overlooking a school for eight-to-12-year-olds from the poor neighborhood teeming with young children behind his house, reports the Mail Online.

Boys as young as eight line up outside his house to be invited in by Slade who takes nude photos of them and gets them to perform sex acts on him for 150 pesos, say neighbors.

“He only picks boys. He never invites girls inside, even though they ask sometimes because they want the money,” said a neighbor.
