Alleged pimp in door-to-door prostitution nabbed in NBI operation

Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation in La Union have arrested an alleged pimp who was reported to have been engaged in delivering "door-to-door" prostitution in the province.

According to John Consulta's report on "24 Oras", the suspect was arrested at a hotel with the women he was allegedly pimping.

Five women were arrested in the operation.

Recovered from the suspect was P10,000 in cash which was used in the entrapment operation.

Patrons reportedly choose the women on a social media site. The women are then delivered to their homes or hotel rooms.

"Pinagpipilian sila [babae] sa halagang P1,500 to P2,000. Tropa nga ng subject itong mga kababaihan na ito," NBI spokesperson Attorney Giselle Dumlao said.

"Nakakalungkot na pinagsasamantalahan yung mga vulnerabilities ng ating mga victim. Kaakibat kasi nito yung peligro na dala lalo na patuloy pa rin ang COVID-19 at may bagong variant at possibility na mabuntis ang babae," she added. —Sherylin Untalan/NB, GMA Integrated News
