Operatives of the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) arrested last Friday a single mother, who allegedly used her daughter in lewd videos and photos that were being sold online.
Police Senior Supt. Jack Wanky, acting city director of BCPO, said the operation was conducted at the suspect’s house in Barangay Handumanan, Bacolod City.
Wanky said the operation was conducted following the recovery of the lewd videos and photos of the minor from the laptop of a foreign national, who was recently nabbed in the United States.
The authorities who nabbed the foreign national coordinated with the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) in Camp Crame, and when the case had been built up, it turned out the lewd videos were taped in Bacolod, he pointed out.
The videos and photos of the minor were sold online on a website managed by her mother, and the viewers, who were mostly foreigners, were paying through credit cards, Wanky said.
The operatives reportedly also nabbed another woman, whose name was not disclosed, and rescued another minor but the police did not give additional details.
The mother was turned over to Cebu, Saturday, as the operation was conducted by operatives of the WCPD Central Visayas with the BCPO WCPD and Intelligence personnel.
Wanky said the WCPD is still processing the documents needed for the filing of charges against the first pimping mom./WDJ
