MANILA, Philippines--The Bureau of Immigration (BI) started deportation proceedings against an American national who is wanted in the US for being a sex offender.

David Lawrence Fiske, 49, arrested last September 17 by elements of the BI-Interpol unit inside his pension house along M.H. Del Pilar St., Malate, Manila, will immediately undergo summary deportation proceedings.

?This also proved time and again, that the country is not a safe haven for foreign fugitives, especially those who intend to sexually abuse our women? the BI chief said.

Atty. Floro Balato Jr., BI-Interpol chief said Fiske is the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant issued by a district court in Harris County, Texas for failure to register as a sex offender. He added that the US State Department had canceled Fiske?s passport upon learning that he had fled to the Philippines.

?Fiske also fraudulently used an Australian passport to escape arrest upon entering the Philippines,? Balato added.

Upon his arrest, authorities discovered that he has in his possession a laptop filled with pictures of girls. BI investigators gathered that Fiske had enticed his victims to pose nude in front of a computer where he would took pictures.

Records showed that Fiske arrived in the Philippines as a tourist from Thailand last June 22 where he also enticed girls in Thailand to pose naked in his camera in exchange of money or by promising to marry them and bring them to the United States.
