Police Arrest 16-Year-Old Model for Luring Teen Into Prostitution
Police in Bangkok arrested a 16‑year‑old girl posing as a model after she lured another teenager into prostitution at a hotel. The raid, prompted by a tip, rescued the victim and seized buy‑money used in an undercover sting. The suspect faces charges of human trafficking and child exploitation.
On October 14, 2026, Police Lieutenant Jakree Nareephon and officers arrested Ms. A (a pseudonym) and rescued a 16‑year‑old girl who had been lured into prostitution at a hotel on Lad Ya Road, Samdej Chaopraya Subdistrict, Khlong San District, Bangkok. The investigation began after police received information that a 16‑year‑old female was offering sexual services. Officers devised a plan, sending an undercover agent to contact the suspect and arrange a purchase for 1,500 baht, plus 200 baht for delivery and 70 baht for waiting. When the agent arrived at the hotel, he signaled the raid team. Officers split into two units: one unit rescued the teenage victim who had been tricked into providing services, while the other unit arrested Ms. A in a nearby room together with the buy‑money used in the sting. Ms. A stated she worked as a model, bringing interested individuals into the sex trade, before being taken into custody for further legal action.
