TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The police have unveiled the business of online prostitution that involves several models.
A girl with the initials T and a man with the initials `AN` were arrested.
Director of Special Crime Unit of the Jakarta Police Comr. Fadil Imransaid that the online prostitution practice was disclosed after a cyber patrol team suspected a site that claims to provide the service of model talents and sales promotion girls.
"After we further investigate it, it turns out that the site is used to offer services of commercial sex workers,” Fadil said on Saturday (20/8).
Head of Cyber Crime Sub-Division of the Directorate of Special Crime of the Jakarta police Adj. Sr. Comr. Alberto Pasaribu said that AN acts as the CEO of this business.
The site also displays photos and data of young women.
Because of suspicion, the police tried to bait AN. After the police contacted AN through WhatsApp, the man replied to the message sent by the police by sending a list of women with their pictures, ages, and tariffs.
AN even offered a flight attendant with the initials V with the tariff of Rp 7 million for one date.
"In communication, AN only wants to communicate with his costumers through WhatsApp and BBM (BlackBerry Messenger)," he added.
After bargaining for some time, AN finally offered a former model with the initials T with the tariff of Rp 5 million for one date.
The police, who were a disguise finally agreed and promised to meet in Kalibata, South Jakarta.
"There, we arrested them,” Berto said.
