Yangon woman busted over sex ring, allegedly pimping out 13-year-old girl

A 25-year-old woman from South Okkalapa Township has been arrested after allegedly forcing six underage girls, including a 13-year-old, to have sex with foreigners.

An unknown foreign national told police about the operation, which involved sending the girls to nightclubs to solicit clients, according to 7Day News Journal.

Khin Maung Hla, Chief Officer of Myanmar’s Human Trafficking Unit, said: “A foreigner reported her to us. He didn’t mention his name and where he came from. He wanted to save those girls. We could save six girls from that house.

“She sent them to night clubs and they have to deal with foreigners… she took that money.”
