Girl, 14, 'ran sex ring'

Police have arrested a 14-year-old girl who was running a prostitution ring out of a motel in Samut Prakan province.

Authorities acting on a tip-off conducted a sting operation at the motel in Tambon Rajathewa in Bang Phli district, according to Pol Maj-Gen Chavalit Sawaengphuet, head of the Anti-Human Trafficking Division.

He said undercover agents attempted to solicit sex from the girl who tried to charge them 2,000 baht each for two minors, one 14 and one 16 years old.

The girls were arrested on the spot. The 14-year-old told the police that she normally received a 500-baht "finder's fee" for each of the girls she set up with customers.

Also on Friday, police raided a house in Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani and arrested a man for running a brothel featuring girls under 18 at a karaoke bar.

Somwang Promsopa, 38, was arrested after a plainclothes policeman tried to solicit a 17-year-old Burmese girl for 1,600 baht at the bar.

Mr Somwang confessed to his crime, saying that he usually took 300 baht in commission for each girl, police said.
