MANILA, Philippines — A 34-year-old woman was arrested at her residence in Angeles, Pampanga on Thursday for allegedly offering children to online sex predators.
Two of the minor daughters of the suspect and her stepdaughter were rescued.
The suspect allegedly forced the children to perform sexual acts online for paying customers.
She faces charges for violation of Republic Act 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and fine of up to P5 million.
Personnel of the Philippine National Police-Women and Children Protection Center Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division and National Bureau of Investigation Anti-Human Trafficking Division conducted the operation in partnership with the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center (PICACC).
The Australian federal police referred the case to the PICACC on March 18.
Rey Bicol, International Justice Mission Manila field officer, said the operation proves that laws are being enforced to protect the vulnerable even during a community quarantine.
”The current challenges brought about by the pandemic shall not diminish our commitment to support our law enforcement partners to rescue children from online sexual exploitation and arrest their abusers,” Bicol said.
