Police Arrest Dark Web Influencer for Exploiting 17-Year-Old

Police from the Technology Crime Suppression Division have unmasked a prominent dark web influencer operating under the name "Jao Nai" on X, who lured a 17-year-old into producing explicit videos for sale in private online groups and OnlyFans, charging subscribers for access. The suspect, 25-year-old Thanyakorn (surname withheld), was arrested on July 25, 2025, at a condominium in the Ramkhamhaeng area of Bangkok's Prawet District following investigation into suspicious activity on his X account, which had amassed 246,646 followers.

Investigators discovered the suspect employed a "secret group marketing" strategy, posting short explicit videos to attract interest and directing followers to join locked accounts and his OnlyFans page, where subscribers paid to access full content. Once payment was verified, users were added to the private groups. The investigation revealed the suspect had specifically recruited a 17-year-old girl to film explicit videos for distribution and profit, constituting human trafficking and child sexual abuse material production.

Officers obtained arrest and search warrants from the Phra Khanong Criminal Court and raided the condominium, seizing two mobile phones and lighting equipment used to produce high-quality explicit content for sale. Examination of the devices revealed numerous explicit images and videos, along with evidence of membership fee transfers. The suspect operated a structured membership system through locked X accounts and OnlyFans, generating hundreds of thousands of baht in revenue from the illegal enterprise.
