Exposed: Douglas Slade was first publicly shamed for his evil appetites in 1975

A paedo campaigner who was once ­branded the vilest man in Britain by the Sunday People is facing a string of child-sex ­charges in the Philippines.

Ex-navy chef Douglas Slade – who helped mastermind the sickening Paedophile Information Exchange – was arrested for allegedly abusing Filipino youngsters for as little as £2 a time.

Cops said they also found depraved images of boys on the 74-year-old’s laptop.

Police raided his home in the red-light district of Angeles City after a tip-off he was photographing children there.

Cops claim Slade – who has cooked for the Queen – lured poverty-stricken kids with offers of food or by ­paying them between £2 and £3.50 to pose for lurid pictures.

Three of the boys – all under 12 and one of them only nine – claim he also molested them, a crime carrying a jail ­sentence of up to 20 years.

Slade was first publicly shamed for his evil appetites in 1975 when we revealed he was one of three ringleaders of PIE, which campaigned to legalise child-sex.

The group was backed by the National Council for Civil Liberties, led by Patricia Hewitt – later a Cabinet minister under Tony Blair.

We sent undercover reporters to infiltrate PIE after Slade published an explicit guide on how and where to pick up ­vulnerable kids in the group’s ­news-letter Palaver.

Our damning report sparked a national outcry against PIE – and forced the ­organisation to disband.

Slade, originally from Aylesbury, Bucks, moved to the Philippines in the 1990s and was arrested twice on suspicion of abusing kids. But he was never charged.

Last night Shay Cullen, a Catholic priest and child-welfare worker in the Asian archipelago, said many perverts escaped ­justice by paying hush-money to the children and their families.

He said: “Lots of British paedophiles are coming over here.

“They treat children as sex-toys for their ­gratification and buy them for the price of a hamburger. But they will be caught.

“We are doing all we can to see that justice is done and to prevent victims and their parents being paid off.”

Slade’s most recent arrest came after he sent his laptop to be repaired.

A technician spotted indecent images and tipped off cops at the National Bureau of Investigation.

Slade was charged with having child pornography and given bail.

Parents of three children at a school near his home then came forward to ­accuse Slade of sex abuse.

Marlyn Capio, a legal officer for local children’s victim support group Preda, told the Sunday People: “They say it is their children in some of the photographs that have been found on his laptop.

“They all allege the children were lured into his house with toys so he could abuse them and take pictures of them nude.

“It is easy for children to get to his house as it is next to the school and this is how he was able to entice them in."

Capio added: “The children say they were physically abused by him while he made them pose for pictures.”

Slade was first arrested in the Philippines on suspicion of molesting boys as young as 11 in 1995.

He was dubbed the Pork Pie Paedophile because he had set up a firm selling Western food to expats.

Court reports claimed he had abused the youngsters after offering them free swimming lessons in the pool at his luxury house in Angeles.

But Slade said in a defence statement: “If I ever gave the children a kiss on their cheeks it was more grandfatherly than malicious.”

He added the charges were “trumped up” and claimed he was merely letting deprived kids use his pool.

He was arrested again in 2006 over similar claims.

But according to Father Cullen, neither case led to a prosecution.

The Philippines is one of the world’s top producers of child porn.

Sickos can even watch kids being abused live on the internet.

A Unicef report warns up to 600,000 street-children are at risk from paedos.

As part of a massive crackdown on the activities of perverts, the government has banned anyone who is a registered sex offender in their home country from entering the Philippines.
