California pilot conspired with Filipina woman to find vulnerable children
According to court documents, Clemans conspired with a woman in the Philippines to produce child pornography. Their conspiracy started in June 2014. At the time, Clemens was temporarily residing in Bangkok, Thailand where he was working as an airline pilot.
In April 2015, he went back to his Sacramento resident and continued his conspiracy with Filipina woman using online chat. During their communications, Clemans discussed different ways to obtain Filipino children whom he could rape.
The California pilot instructed her to target orphans and typhoon victims and buy photographic equipment. He also ordered her to find discreet locations and to take sexually explicit videos of the victims. He paid almost $6,000 to the Filipina woman.
During a press briefing, U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott said, Clemans “sent money to that person to procure the children, requested in graphic detail the types of pornographic images he wanted of those children.”
