[snoop1130]

 

A karaoke shop in Nong Chai Si was raided by the Buriam Police today, following an investigation run by Jiraphop Phuridech on sex trafficking. The joint investigation with Buriam Provincial Police, Wivut Chaiaanghar, and Phumin Pumphantmuang, Deputy Provincial Police, led to the shocking discovery of a minor being exploited for sex trafficking.

 

When the search was conducted at the Nong Ying Karaoke shop in Nong Chai Si, Nong Hong, Buriram Province, an undercover operation revealed that the owner used minors as employees to serve food at the tables; furthermore, the staff was being offered to customers for sexual services. For each instance of a sexual service rendered, the shopkeeper would keep a commission of 300 baht (US$9).

 

An undercover officer was shocked to discover that a waiter who appeared to be under 18 was involved. As an immediate response, officers arrested a 17 year old employee, pseudonym A, and the owner, Supharat (last name withheld) was then also, arrested. Six severe charges were levelled against Supharat, including using a person less than 18 years of age for prostitution, trafficking in persons by profiteering from the prostitution of an individual less than 18 years old and operating an establishment without permission, reported KhaoSod.

Isn't a karaoke shop just a front for sexual services?

No doubt 17 year old "A" went to work at the Karaoke of her own free will and likely as not, having probably had sex with most of the young lads from her village, was more than happy to provide services to customers, when, this time, she would get a paid!

exactly ....  she worked there by her own choice. 

It's the owner who needs locking up for allowing her to work there.

Agreed.

 

Just a natural extension of what they do in the village with the added bonus of cash.

Yes, they both follow the bouncing ball.
