A former disc jockey who allegedly made several million baht operating an online website that offered sex services, took the money and didn't provide them, was arrested by police in Bangkok on Thursday.
Phitsanu ‘’Pete’’ Phetchura, 36, a former pub DJ, is accused of obtaining money by false pretences from customers seeking to buy sex services.
His apprehension followed complaints that the Siam Sideline website had run advertisements online that it had female university students willing to provide sex services as ‘’sideline jobs", Pol Lt Col Samroeng Songsiang, deputy superintendent of the Children and Women Protection sub-division under the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said at a press conference. The advertisements had attracted many men who later contacted Mr Phitsanu via a mobile phone number shown on the website. Complainants claimed they had transferred money to the accused, and received nothing in return.
