Woman Arrested For Sex Trafficking Three Minors
A 28-year-old Thai-French woman was arrested for forcing three minors, including a 13-year-old girl, into sexual services through threats and violence in Udon Thani province.
Three young women, including a 13-year-old girl, have come forward seeking help after being forced into providing sexual services by a 28-year-old half-foreign woman. If they refused, they were threatened with physical assault by her associates. Video evidence of the violence was recorded. The alleged perpetrator used social media channels to contact clients and arrange transactions.
On July 10, 2025, the reporter received complaints from Ms. A (pseudonym), 18, Ms. B (pseudonym), 17, and Ms. C (pseudonym), 13, who identified their alleged trafficker as Ms. Dah, 28, a Thai-French woman. They claimed she forced them to sell sexual services, threatening violence and assault if they refused, with video evidence of abuse. Ms. Dah had created social media accounts to facilitate contact with clients for transactions.
The reporter coordinated with Police Colonel Patanvong Janthapol, commander of Udon Thani City Police, who dispatched Deputy Police Colonel Wattanapong Kaewphirom and Police Major Sermpol Pierchaaisong, head of the Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force, to interview the victims.
Ms. A revealed she was studying at the vocational level while working at a restaurant to support herself and renting accommodation with Ms. C. She dropped out due to night shifts causing fatigue and poor attendance. In March 2025, her landlord introduced her to Ms. Dah, described as a Thai-French model who arranged entertainment services for clients.
"Soon we became close and were persuaded to entertain clients, including Ms. C. When male clients messaged, Ms. Dah would send photos for selection. Once chosen, she'd quote a price for bank transfer, deducting 200-300 baht as commission. After four months, we were forced to accept clients even when sick or menstruating. If we refused, we faced threats of arrest on false debt claims. Eventually, we moved to escape but were threatened and assaulted, so we sought help," Ms. A stated.
Police have coordinated with multi-agency personnel to record statements as evidence and are tracking down Ms. Dah for questioning. If evidence confirms the offense, human trafficking charges will be filed.
