The child trafficking allegedly involved a Japanese national, who has been charged with trafficking and selling young girls of junior and senior high school age.
During a six-month investigation they discovered a well-structured and organized child trafficking network.
The majority of victims were promised 5 to 10 million Rp to help their parents or support their education. To obtain the money, these teenage girls were required to have sexual intercourse with the Japanese man, who also traded the girls to other foreign customers for sexual services.
After intercourse, the Japanese man would ask the girls to pose wearing sexy dresses. The alleged perpetrator could be charged with violating the Child Protection Law and human trafficking.
