Philippines cybersex den busted

An all-male cybersex den, believed to be part of a larger human trafficking ring that recruits young men and women for sex on webcams with paying customers, was raided by police in the Philippines on Tuesday.

Cybersex has been declared illegal in the Philippines, where the proliferation of cybersex dens has been used to justify a cybercrime law that would give authorities sweeping powers of arrest and imprisonment for anyone circulating lewd material online. The Supreme Court suspended the law in October last year after it was attacked by journalists and bloggers. Photo: AP

Twelve male "chatters" were rescued in the raid on an apartment in Barangay Calibuyo in Tanza, Cavite.

    ANY human trafficker should be hanged in public in a display every time one is convicted. No other lesson will work as there is too much money involved in it. Prison only builds a much larger network. They are not really human anyway once they do this.
