Two individuals were arrested and charged with human trafficking following a raid on a karaoke bar in Warin Chamrap district of the northeast Ubon Ratchathani province last night.
A police team from the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD) apprehended the 63 year old owner of the karaoke bar on Pathumtheppakdi Road, named Somporn. They also arrested the bar manager, 45 year old Usanee. Both their surnames were withheld.
Employees providing sexual services to patrons were required to pay 500 baht to the establishment for each transaction, according to Sarut.
Somporn and Usanee faced charges of collusion in human trafficking for procuring girls under 18 years old into prostitution and related offences, Bangkok Post reported. Both individuals confessed to the charges and were brought to ATPD sub-division 3 for legal action, said Sarut Khwaengsopha.
