12 women rescued from sex trafficking
A South Korean national, Shin Ki Jung, was apprehended in Angeles City, Pampanga for his alleged involvement in a sex trafficking operation.
The operation led to the rescue of 12 women, including five minors.
Shin faces charges for violating the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022 and the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act.
The NBI's investigation was initiated following a complaint from the husband of a trafficked victim, who reported Shin was recruiting women for work in Korea without proper permits.
Further inquiries revealed the recruitment was a facade to coerce women into working at a club in Angeles City, where they would serve as models and entertainers for foreign nationals, and be available for hotel check-ins.
