Ohio man gets 27 years for paying poor mothers in PH to make child porn

Registered sex offender Charles Lee Frazier.

DAYTON, Ohio — A southwest Ohio registered sex offender was sentenced to 27 years in prison for paying poor women in the Philippines to send him pornographic images of children.

Charles Lee Frazier, 42, of Sidney, Ohio had pleaded guilty in March for to trying to produce child pornography.

Previously convicted and given an 84-month prison term in 2011 for receiving child pornography, Frazier already was a registered sex offender at the time of the new offense.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio says Frazier used Filipino dating sites to find women in poverty. Using Skype, he then asked them for sexually explicit pictures of their children in exchange for money.

Frazier also sent child-pornography images to the women as examples of what he wanted them to create with their children. He also asked the women to show the images to their children in an attempt to convince them to engage in sexual behavior, court records show.

The documents say Frazier discussed committing violent acts against children, including killing infants during sexual assaults.

From April through July 2019, Frazier sent money to women in the Philippines in exchange for child pornography, documents show.

Frazier sent about $800 to one individual for nude images of a 7-year-old girl. Authorities say that one of the women said she needed the money for food.
