Two restaurant owners in Kanchanaburi and Khon Kaen were arrested for selling minors who were working as waitresses in their restaurants to undercover police for prostitution.
Warinthip Rienpetch,57, was arrested in Khon Kaen with 29 condoms and the THB1,800 the undercover police used to buy two 14-year-olds and one 16-year-old. In Kanchanaburi, 56-year-old Kannika Chadam was arrested after she delivered three minors to a hotel and accepted THB4,500.
Both defendants denied all charges and said they were unaware of the minors’ secret prostitution and had nothing to do with the deals their waitresses made with customers. The six minors were sent to Kret Trakan Protection and Occupation Development Center, Daily News reported.
