UDON THANI: There are many victims in a tragic case uncovered by human trafficking officers in the north eastern town of Udon Thani yesterday.

 

Police had become aware that someone was selling underage girls into sex through a Facebook page advertising "Girls looking for work", reported Thairath.

 

So they set up a sting operation at a local motel in downtown Udon. A 1,000 baht note and two hundreds were photocopied before the sting began so they would have evidence.

 

Outside the motel room they were in for a surprise - the pimp selling the girls was not an older man but a 15 year old lady boy. He was immediately arrested.

 

Inside the room they found one of three girls that he admitted were pictured on his Facebook page. She was just 16.

 

He told officers that he would give the girl 1,000 baht and keep the rest for himself.

 

Named only as "A" he told police a sad story of his recent life. 

 

His mother had died and when his father took in another woman two years ago he ran away from home and stayed in downtown Udon with some other male friends who were also lady boys. He was not in school.

 

"A", who comes from Phen district of Udon, sold himself for sex at first for 800 baht a time to other men. 

 

After this he moved out to his own rented room and set himself up with the Facebook page offering three girls he knew for sex. He had been doing this for about a year to make ends meet and pay for a Ya Ba habit.

 

He told investigators that he wasn't forcing the girls and asked: "Is it so bad?".

 

The girl, named only as "B" said that she came from a broken home and had run away and didn't go to school either. She had sold herself into sex before meeting "A". 

 

She said her customers were men aged 30-50 and could be construction workers, civil servants or local politicians.

 

She too needed money to pay for Ya Ba. She told officers she would have between 7 and 10 customers a month and had been doing this for about a year.

 

She told investigators that she didn't know she was doing anything illegal and had not been forced into the sex trade.

 

An investigator in the case asked parents to watch their children. He said that all sides must pull together to stop the conditions that exist whereby such stories happen. 

 

Men need to stop buying sex and he warned apartment and hostel owners and hoteliers not to rent rooms to under 20s or face prosecution.

 

"B" was set to be taken into the care of a children's home. As for "A" he had to face the consequences of the law, said officials, but he too would eventually be taken into care so that he could be helped.

Yeah right, all of you men out there, stop buying sex and get on masturbating until your dick

falls off....

Clearly this advise giver knows nothing about the basic fundamentals of human behavior..

Nothing.....

[DiamondKing]

Does not sound like these kids were victims of the ladyboy however they are victims of the class system and lack of help when they fall on hard times.

[colinneil]

Girl said customers were construction workers, civil servants or politicians.

Surely the police should be looking into that more than the underage ladyboy.

Or maybe some of the customers were   !!! policemen!!!

How about men need to stop buying sex with <deleted> children then, how does that work for ya?

"So they set up a sting operation at a local motel in downtown Udon. A 1,000 baht note and two hundreds were photocopied before the sting began so they would have evidence"

 

They couldn't muster up this amount in real money? Real pros there.

 

Anyway, ladyboy arrested so case closed. No need to go after the people paying for sex. They won't be able to pay for sex with underage girls anymore because the operation has been shut down. Good guys 1-0 Bad guys.

Seriously, you can't be that dumb, can you?

 

They photocopied the real notes, so when they handed over the real notes, they had copies to prove they were given by police.

Do what they do back home.  Catch the customers and put their pictures in the newspaper.  And arrest them.  It's not the young girls fault.

Well, I must be really dumb. I guess I was confused by the vague reporting on police procedures.

 

I'd have gone with "They signed the money out of evidence" or better still, don't mention it. It goes without saying that they always follow police protocol.

Where are the many victims?

Yes, that is a very misleading headline. But all the local politicians should be identified by the police (with the assistance of the two youngsters) and arrested for (allegedly) having underage sex - and take it from there. - albeit the 'taking it from there' could be just as bad.

This truly is a sad case, paedophilia from these 'clients' and should be dealt with as harshly as possible. Poorly educated and drug dependent kids who need a whole lot of support now, not incarceration, otherwise the cycle of poverty and crime will be repeated. And, no doubt, this is repeated in every major town in Thailand, it is just that the young ladyboy was not very smart whereas more sophisticated operations exist and are harder to detect by law enforcement.

I thought you were joking. Quite a good one too.

Unfortunately, you weren't.

Why do they blur out the back of the suspect's head? It's not like anyone can identify him by his haircut. After all, there are only 3 men's hairstyles in Thailand.

"Men need to stop buying sex....... "

Why oh why do Thai authorities continue to make ridiculous statements in an otherwise serious news story. Do they really think with this statement, the oldest profession in the world will suddenly come to an end?

 

"Men need to stop buying sex with underage boys/girls and, if caught, will be dealt with severely" I think would have been much more appropriate.   

[williamgeorgeallen]

three things can be done.

lower the age for consensual sex.

catch the johns who look for underage hookers.

provide a support network for young people who need help to stop them turning to drugs and prostitution.

will any of these things be carried out to any effect? no, carry on thailand, carry on.

Find the mobile phone SIM with the contact list, match it against the phone history and get investigating, could almost guarantee there will be one somewhere.

It should be a fundamental right to buy and sell sex between consenting adults....the key however are the words consenting adults. 

[Khon Kaen Dave]

And then asked "is it so bad".well,that sum's it up.What an outlook on young life.

No moe to be said really.

gives me the impression that this person has been driven into this trade as he knows nothing else. the problem is compounded by ya ba consumption.

 

this person needs a lot of help to come out of this vicious cycle.

they were more like a buddy gang operating to make ends meet and feed their ya ba need.

The ladyboy would have been acting as the focal point, arranging the meets, etc. Perhaps not controlling the girls but organizing.
