The Internet’s Deepest Horror

"Stuck In the Monster's Web" | The Dark Web Peter Scully Story

Maybe you've heard the true crimes and deplorable nature of Peter Scully before. Maybe you remember when that evil twisted video "Daisy's Destruction" was being passed around online. Hopefully you were smart enough to press delete if ever you received this horrible video. Regardless of your familiarity with "No Limits Fun" or Peter Scully, this deep web/dark web story is one you shouldn't start with.

The monster running this web is disgusting. Who is Daisy? Who is Lieyzel Margallo? Where is Marshal Ruskin? What does Matthew Graham have to do with this? Who burned down the building housing evidence? Do I even want to know what "HURT 2 THE CORE" is?

Understanding the Dark Web and Red Rooms

The dark web represents a hidden portion of the internet that requires special software like Tor to access. Unlike the surface web we use daily, the dark web provides anonymity to its users, making it a haven for both privacy advocates and criminals alike.

Red rooms are one of the most disturbing concepts associated with the dark web. These are alleged live-streamed torture chambers where viewers can pay to watch and sometimes direct acts of violence in real-time. While many red rooms are hoaxes or scams, the Peter Scully case proved that such horrific content does exist in pre-recorded form.

The term "HURT 2 THE CORE" refers to a particularly extreme category of content that depicts real violence and torture. This is not simulated entertainment it documents actual crimes against real victims. Peter Scully became one of the most notorious producers of such material, operating under the name

"No Limits Fun" on the dark web.

The dark web's anonymity features, while designed to protect privacy and free speech, have been exploited by criminals to create marketplaces for the most heinous content imaginable.

Peter Scully: The Monster Behind the Screen

 

Key Facts:

Born in Melbourne, Australia

Fled to Philippines in 2011

Operated under "No Limits Fun"

Targeted impoverished children

Peter Gerard Scully was born in Melbourne, Australia, and appeared to lead a normal life before his descent into depravity. He was married with two children and ran what seemed to be legitimate businesses. However, beneath this facade lurked something far more sinister.

In 2011, Scully fled Australia after being accused of multiple fraud charges, leaving behind debts of over $2.7 million. He relocated to the Philippines, where poverty and lack of strong law enforcement made it easier for him to exploit vulnerable children.

In the Philippines, Scully established his horrific operation, recruiting impoverished young women to help him lure street children into his web. He would promise food, shelter, and money to desperate families, only to subject their children to unimaginable abuse.

The Victims: Daisy and Others

The most infamous video produced by Scully was titled "Daisy's Destruction." The victim, known as Daisy, was an 18-month-old girl named Liezyl Margallo. The video depicted torture so extreme that many law enforcement officials who viewed it required psychological counseling afterward.

Daisy survived her ordeal, though she was left with permanent physical and psychological scars. She was eventually rescued and returned to her family, but the trauma of what she endured will last a lifetime.

 

Daisy (Liezyl Margallo)

18 months old at time of abuse. Survived and was rescued. Suffered severe physical injurie including broken bones and permanent scarring.

Cindy

Another young victim featured in Scully's videos. Her fate and current whereabouts remain part of the ongoing investigation.

Other Victims

At least 12 other children were identified as victims. Some remain missing, and their cases are still being investigated by international authorities.

 

One victim, an 11-year-old girl named Liezyl Margallo (not to be confused with Daisy), was allegedly murdered by Scully and buried under a house he was renting. Her body was later exhumed as evidence in his trial.

The Accomplices: Lieyzel Margallo and Others

Peter Scully did not operate alone. He recruited several young Filipino women to assist him in his crimes, exploiting their poverty and desperation.

Liezyl Margallo (spelled differently from the victim) was one of Scully's primary accomplices. She was his girlfriend and actively participated in the abuse, torture, and filming of victims. Margallo was arrested alongside Scully and faced charges for her role in the crimes

Other accomplices included Carmen Ann Alvarez and another woman known only as "Lovely." These women helped Scully identify vulnerable children, brought them to his locations, and in some cases, participated directly in the abuse.

The involvement of female accomplices shocked investigators, as they had expected to find a lone male predator. Instead, they discovered a network of individuals who enabled and participated in these horrific crimes.

The International Investigation

The investigation into Peter Scully involved law enforcement agencies from multiple countries, including Australia, the Philippines, the United States, and several European nations.

Matthew Graham, a Dutch national, played a crucial role in the investigation. Graham was arrested in the Netherlands for possessing and distributing Scully's videos. During his interrogation, he provided valuable information about Scully's operation and the dark web networks used to distribute the content.

Marshal Ruskin was another individual connected to the case. Ruskin was investigated for his involvement in the distribution network, though details about his specific role remain limited due to ongoing investigations into the broader network of consumers and distributors.

 

The Evidence Fire: Suspicious Circumstances

In a suspicious turn of events, a fire broke out at a building in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, where evidence related to the Scully case was being stored. Who burned down the building housing evidence? This question remains partially unanswered, though investigators suspect it was an attempt to destroy crucial evidence before trial.

The fire occurred in 2015, shortly after Scully's arrest. While some evidence was destroyed, investigators had fortunately created digital backups of most materials. The fire did, however, destroy some physical evidence and delayed the trial proceedings.

What Was Lost	What Was Saved	Ongoing Mystery
Physical evidence includes computers, hard drives, and documents. Some victim identification materials and financial records were damaged or destroyed.	Digital backups of most video evidence, victim testimonies recorded on separate systems, and international copies of key documents held by foreign agencies.	No arrests have been made in connection with the fire. Theories range from accomplices still at large to corrupt officials attempting to cover up their involvement.

 

The incident raised serious questions about evidence security in the Philippines and led to reforms in how high-profile criminal evidence is stored and protected.

The Trial and Sentencing

Peter Scully's trial began in 2015 and continued for several years due to the complexity of the case and the international nature of the evidence. He faced 75 charges, including human trafficking, rape, torture, and murder.

In June 2018, Scully was found guilty on multiple counts and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The Philippine court described his crimes as "heinous" and among the worst in the country's history.

 Lieyzel Margallo was also convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for her role as an accomplice. Other accomplices received varying sentences ranging from 20 years to life, depending on their level of involvement.

The Philippines does not have the death penalty, which was abolished in 2006. However, there were calls from the public and some officials to reinstate it specifically for Scully's case. Ultimately, life imprisonment remained the maximum sentence.

The judge stated during sentencing: "The acts committed by the accused are so heinous and depraved that they shock the conscience of mankind. These crimes represent the darkest depths of human depravity."

The Broader Impact: Dark Web Crime and Red Room Reality

The Peter Scully case had far-reaching implications for how law enforcement approaches dark web crimes and child exploitation. It proved that red rooms and extreme HURT 2 THE CORE content are not just urban legends they exist, and they represent real crimes against real victims.

Following Scully's arrest, international cooperation on dark web investigations increased significantly. New task forces were formed, and technology companies developed better tools for detecting and reporting illegal content.

 

The case also sparked important conversations about the dark web itself. While the technology behind Tor and similar networks was designed for legitimate privacy purposes, the Scully case highlighted how these tools can be weaponized by criminals.

Red rooms remain a topic of debate. While live-streamed torture chambers are extremely rare (most "red room" sites are scams), the Scully case proved that pre-recorded extreme content is produced and distributed. The term "red room" has become shorthand for the darkest corners of the internet where such material is traded.

Conclusion — Facing the Darkness

The story of Peter Scully is horrifying, but it is also a human story. It is a reminder that evil does not always wear a mask. Sometimes it hides behind screens, behind ordinary faces, behind the illusion of normal life.

What is important to remember are the children. Daisy, Cindy, and the others. They are not just victims; they are survivors. Their lives were stolen for a time, but they endured, and today they are rebuilding. Every therapy session, every moment of safety, every ounce of care they receive is a small victory against the darkness Scully created.

This case also reminds us of the people who fight quietly behind the scenes. The investigators, social workers, and international teams who refused to look away. They show us that even in the darkest corners of the internet, compassion and justice can shine.

The red rooms, the hidden forums, the twisted corners of the web. They are real, yes. But so is hope. Awareness, vigilance, and humanity are far stronger than curiosity or cruelty.

In the end, Peter Scully’s story is a warning, but also a testament. A warning that evil can be close, invisible, and relentless. And a testament that people, together, can fight back, protect the innocent, and remind the world that even in the deepest darkness, human courage and care matter more than anything else.
