A New Zealand man who paid $80 to sexually abuse a child in a Manila hotel room has had his claim for permanent name suppression dismissed by the Court of Appeal. He did, however, grant leave for Reyes to apply for permanent name suppression when the temporary suppression expired - which he did. He immediately made his way to a hotel where he would pay someone $80 to film himself sexually abusing a child. Nearly 12,500 were depicting the sexual exploitation or abuse of children, while 3573 were classed in the highest category of child exploitation material and included images depicting sadism and bestiality. Reyes confessed to travelling to the Philippines capital and paid someone $80 for access to a boy for two hours in Manila's Icon Hotel North ESDA.
