A 19-year-old prostitute was arrested for allegedly pimping out her 15-year-old cousin visiting from Issan.
Siriporn Poopan was arrested Sept. 22 during a string operation involving anti-human trafficking police and a foreign volunteer.
Siriporn allegedly had approached the informant while he was sitting in front of Central Festival Pattaya Beach and offered the sexual services of her underage female cousin for 4,500 baht. Once he informed police, the volunteer was instructed to go through with the transaction in order to arrest the woman. She was apprehended at Big C Extra with the cash on her and her cousin at her side.
