It was not just Dean Edward Cheves, a former director of the United States Embassy in Manila.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has revealed that another foreigner is facing the same charges filed against Cheves for having illicit sex with a 16-year-old Filipina and possessing pornographic materials.
Last Tuesday, Aug. 31, the DOJ said that Judge Byron Gabbuat San Pedro of the Taguig City regional trial court (RTC) Branch 15 (a family court) has issued an arrest warrant against Spanish national Francisco Manuel Sanchez de Oria, 36, also known as Franco Sanchez.
Like Cheves, Sanchez was charged with violations of Republic Act No. 7610, the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act, and RA 9775, the Anti-Child Pornography Act.
“On 16 August 2021, the criminal informations (charge sheets) for the said violations were filed at the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Taguig City,” the DOJ said in a statement.
“On the same day, the Office of the Executive Judge issued a Precautionary Hold Departure Order against Sanchez upon motion of the trial prosecutor,” it said.
The DOJ said the charges against the Spaniard were filed by the Office of the City Prosecutor (OCP) of Taguig City following the conduct of a preliminary investigation of the complaint filed last March 12 by Jane (not her real name), a 16-year-old exclusive school student.
The complaint against Cheves, against whom an arrest order has been issued by the Pasay City RTC Judge Christian P. Castaneda, was also filed by Jane. Cheves is in the US where he was earlier indicted for having illicit sex in a foreign country and for possessing pornography.
“The facts, as narrated by Jane, revealed that she met Sanchez in person on 14 December 2020 when he picked her up in Pasay City,” the DOJ said.
“After she was picked up, Sanchez brought Jane at his place in Taguig City where they took illegal drugs and immediately had sex – first sexual abuse,” it said.
After their first meeting, the DOJ said the Spaniard met and committed “sexual abuse” with Jane 10 more times on Dec. 19 to 20; Dec. 27 to 28; Jan. 7 to 8; Jan. 16, 21, 23, and 29; and Feb. 11.
In some of these dates, Jane narrated that the Spaniard was joined by other persons only known as “Sam” and “Gil.”
In the cases against Cheves, Jane said that she first communicated with Cheves through the dating app “Bumble” when she was just around 12 years of age.
She said she personally met Cheves for the first time last Feb. 12 in Dasmarinas Village in Makati City where she alleged she was asked to do oral sex.
She also said she met Cheves again last Feb. 22 and they went to a motel in Pasay City where he took videos of their sexual activity.
With the issuance of an arrest order against Cheves, the DOJ has started studying the possibility of his extradition to face the charges before the Pasay City RTC.
If Cheves is not arrested or extradited and presented physically before the Pasay City RTC, the cases against him may be archived.

Correction, 6/7/2015: An earlier version of this article cited a former US ambassador to the Philippines as saying that 40 percent of all visitors to the country are sex tourists. The former ambassador later apologised for his remarks and admitted that he did not have any data to back them up.
Angeles City, Philippines – Weekends are busy on Fields Avenue in Balibago. Young women greet meandering men and invite them into the bars that line the street. Known as the “supermarket of sex”, Angeles City’s red light district has fast become a top destination for sex tourism.
Male travellers from Asia, Australia, the US, Europe and the Middle East constitute the bulk of the arrivals at Clark Airport, a former US military airbase. From there, many flock to the bars and clubs of Fields Avenue – and to the impoverished young women who work there.
Acquiring their company for the night is straightforward. For a small fee, the men obtain what is known as an “early work release” that permits them to take the woman of their choice back to their hotel. It is a trade that thrives in the Philippines, where there are an estimated half-a-million sex workers, almost a fifth of whom are minors. Although illegal in the predominantly Catholic country, an estimated $400m is spent on prostitution there each year.
But when the sex tourists depart, they sometimes leave more behind than they’d arrived with. A large number of children have been conceived in such exchanges and while some foreign nationals provide support for and, in some instances, even marry the mother of their child, many more children never even meet their biological father and are left to live in poverty.

PHOTOS: Why The Philippines Has So Many Teen Moms
Sisters Rose Ann, age 15, (right) and Ros Jane, age 17, hold their babies in the neighborhood where they live in Manila.
The girls are very close and rely on each other for support, raising their children as if they're siblings. Ros Jane is protective of her younger sister and worries she is not mature enough to take on the responsibilities of parenthood.

Joan Garcia became pregnant at 14 and gave birth at 15. She and her child travel by raft between the two shacks where they live in Navotas fish port on Manila Bay.
Editor's note: Hannah Reyes Morales has been photographing teen moms since 2017. Aurora Almendral began reporting this story in October 2019.
At 12 years old, Joan Garcia liked leaping into the sea and racing the boys to the nearest pylon. She liked playing tag. When she started having sex at 13, she thought it was just another game. Joan was skipping across the pavement, playing a game with friends, when an older neighbor noticed her rounding belly.
Her daughter, Angela, is now a year old. Joan crouched on the floor, folding up her lanky teenage limbs and fed Angela fingers-full of steamed rice, crimped strands of instant noodles and fermented anchovies from the family's small communal bowl.

Sisters Joan (center) and Jossa Garcia (left), both teen mothers, hang out in a boat with their children and their younger sister. Each year, 1.2 million Filipina girls between the ages of 10 and 19 have a child.
Joan, now 16 years old, said that since she became a mother, she's embarrassed to play kids' games, then paused for a moment. "Sometimes I still play tag in the water with my brothers," she admitted.
Over a 10-year period, 1.2 million Filipina girls between the ages of 10 and 19 have had a child. That's a rate of 24 babies per hour.
And the rate of teenage pregnancy is rising. According to the most recent data, collected every 10 years, in 2002, 6.3 percent of teenagers were pregnant; by 2013 it had gone up to 13.6 percent.
Last August, the Philippines' economic development agency declared the number of teenage pregnancies a "national social emergency."

The pandemic has made the situation worse. With Manila under a strict lockdown — including limited access to medical facilities, no public transportation and harshly enforced rules on not going out — access to birth control has been severely curtailed, particularly for teenagers, said Hope Basiao-Abella, adolescent reproductive health project coordinator for Likhaan, a nongovernmental organization that works on women's health and access to contraception.
The University of the Philippines Population Institute is predicting a baby boom in 2021 — an estimated 751,000 additional unplanned pregnancies because of the conditions created by the pandemic.
The main reasons for the high rate of teenage pregnancies are inadequate sex education (some girls do not know that having sex can result in pregnancy or fully consider the responsibility of having children) and a lack of access to birth control.
Contraceptive access has long been a complicated, divisive issue in the Philippines. Despite a constitutional separation of church and state, Catholic morals dominate Philippine law. For more than a decade, reproductive health activists and legislators fought a bitter battle with the Catholic Church and conservative politicians to pass a law that would allow the government to distribute contraceptives to those who could not afford them and require comprehensive sex education in public schools.
Outside the Quiapo Church in Manila, some vendors sell herbs, roots and bottled pills used to induce abortion — which is illegal in all circumstances in the majority-Catholic country.

The Philippine Catholic church has long opposed birth control in the country where about 80% of people are Catholics. In the past, the Catholic Bishops Council of the Philippines preached — in public statements, on the pulpit and through allied lawmakers — against a bill to widen access to birth control on moral grounds, calling it "anti-life" and "a major attack on authentic human values and on Filipino cultural values."
The Philippines passed a reproductive health bill into law in 2012. But years of Supreme Court challenges and delays in implementation continue to this day. Among the concessions to conservatives was a provision requiring parental consent for minors to buy contraceptives or receive them for free.
The Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital serves low-income communities in Manila, where the rates of teen pregnancy are high. Locals call it the "baby factory" â and the maternity ward is typically very busy.

The Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital serves low-income communities in Manila, where the rates of teen pregnancy are high. Locals call it the "baby factory" â and the maternity ward is typically very busy.
"It was one step back [for] adolescent health," said Dr. Juan Perez III , executive director for the Philippine Commission on Population and Development. The law improved access to birth control for women, but it became harder for teenagers to get birth control.
To address the resulting uptick in adolescent pregnancies, lawmakers have introduced bills improving access to contraception, supporting sex education and making it illegal to expel girls from school should they become pregnant. None have become law so far.
Perez said a teenage pregnancy has a significant impact on perpetuating poverty. "They cannot recover from being a child mother," he said.
That was the finding of a 2016 study by the United Nations Population Fund. By age 20, a teenage girl in the Philippines who gets pregnant and drops out of school earns 87 percent of the average 20-year-old woman's pay. Perez said the lower income continues further into adulthood.
Joan lives with 16 relatives on a small raft of bamboo poles and scavenged wood, tied to a broken cement pylon, bobbing behind a row of steel shipping vessels docked in Manila's fish port — a patchwork of spaces no larger than two king-size mattresses.
