![]() ![]() The case of Vilma is one of the report highlights provided by the non-government organization International Justice Mission (IJM) covering OSAEC cases from 2010 to 2017. In 2018, Vilma was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment while her four children received therapy and social services from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Had the Australian government did not arrest its own citizen who purchased one of Vilma's images, investigators would not be able to trace the activities made by the mother of four in Central Visayas. In exchange for the lewd images and videos, she received payment from foreign clients through money transfer services. Through the use of social media and email, Vilma trafficked her children, aged 7 to 11, to foreigners living in Germany, Australia, and the United States. Investigations from joint law enforcement teams in the Philippines and Australia found that the four children were her own and that she forced them to engage in what authorities refer to as Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC).
