Transwoman Arrested in Bangkok for Trafficking Teenage Girls

[snoop1130]

 

A Thai transwoman was apprehended at a hotel in Bangkok for sex trafficking two teenage girls, one aged 16 and the other 17. The Children and Women Protection Sub-Division officers uncovered online advertisements featuring the underage girls, leading them to pose as potential clients.

 

The law enforcement officers contacted the 30-year-old transwoman, Samart, who had posted the adverts. An undercover officer arranged a hotel meet in the Charan Sanit Wong district of Bangkok, after negotiating to pay 4,500 baht for sexual services from the teens.

 

Samart and the girls arrived at the hotel where the officers revealed their identities and arrested them. The teenage girls were considered victims and did not face legal consequences.

 

The two charges against Samart are as follows:

 

1. Section 6 of the Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking Act, which condemns profiting from prostitution involving individuals above 15 but below 18 years of age. This charge carries a penalty of six to 15 years in jail and a fine ranging from 600,000 to 1.5 million baht.
2. Section 9 of the same Act, which prohibits encouraging or causing a person aged over 15 but under 18 to be involved in prostitution. This can result in a jail sentence of five to 15 years and a penalty of 100,000 to 300,000 baht.

That is just wrong and immoral for you to say... you do not know them and have a rather narrow view of what sex trafficking is all about... you are part of the problem.

Thailand it's legal for a girl to have sex at 15 but legally they can only have sex with those similar age, school boys. 

 

These girls are unable to work in the sex industry to support their children. The children that have been fathered by these school boys, these school aged boys don't have money.

These girls are unable to work in the sex industry to support their children that are fathered by these school boys because these boys don't have money. 

 

That is a totally different problem that is not valid to support your stance that sex trafficking is OK... sex trafficking is NEVER OK.

Take off the blinkers... 

These two girls arrived at the hotel willingly with the trans-women, knowing what they were expected to provide for the payment.

All over Thailand girls of this age are engaging in the sex trade, either in short-time hotels or other venues using social media to provide private hook-ups.

Trafficking does exist yes, but in Thailand it's in the minority, most do it as a means of necessary income.

When they reach the age of 18 they progress to the bars and massage shops for employment.

Do you have a link for that law?

AFAIK between 15 and 18 years old it is legal to consent to sex with any aged partner BUT the consent can be withdrawn after the act by the young person OR their guardians, making the other party guilty of having sex with a minor between the ages of 15 and 18, and it makes no difference how old that other person is.

In any case, sex for money or any type of compensation is illegal at this age.

Maybe, maybe not.

But we can be sure their parent made some big mistakes or didn't care at all.

If they would grow up with caring parents, then they would not even think about providing sex for money.

There are transsexuals out there. And in Thailand they still make a difference between real women and trans-women.

I think that is fair enough.

What a cr@p

No idea at all, but posting as if you knew

 

There are extensive resources: many threads about this subject, several Wikipedia entries. Try reading before posting

 

Same  goes for the poster who posted

"In any case, sex for money or any type of compensation is illegal at this age."

 

Thailand actually does have laws, which are published in the Royal Gazette and can be read if you are not illiterate.  Read them, and then post.

Should they be allowed to give then a ride down from Isaan?

The tranny should find a way to make an honest living, women's boxing for example.

Nothing in your above reply answer for that.

 

Here's a quote and the source:

 

 Thai legal system doesn’t recognize the concept of Romeo and Juliet law. This law would allow young people of similar ages to have a consensual sexual relationship where one of the partners is under the age of consent.

 Is it Allowed to Have Sex with Someone who is Under 18 Years Old?

It depends. Thai laws state that any sexual relationship with minors aged 15, 16, and 17 is a compoundable offense.

In other words, the authorities will not pursue the guilty party of their own accord, but the underage participant can still press charges.

That's a good approximation to reality.

 

But... quoting "dreamholidayasia" for a legal opinion,  that's quite something

Women's boxing is not an honest living, more likely a hairdresser or such.
