FOUR persons allegedly involved in exploiting women online were arrested while two teenagers were rescued Tuesday, February 2, 2021, in Angeles City, Pampanga.
Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Debold Sinas identified the suspects as Easton Sanderson, 34, an American citizen; Reneilyn Robles,22; Jann Arielle Mondejar, 23; and Shirley Martinez.
They were arrested in a condominium unit in Kandi Tower in Barangay Malabanias around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Sinas said Wednesday, February 3, that the two teenagers narrated that they were recruited by Mondejar for a modeling job and photo shoot.
When they met with Sanderson, however, the teenagers said they were forced to have sexual intercourse with him while Robles and Martinez took a video, which was later uploaded to pornographic sites.
The raid was conducted by the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit after it received a tip about an online sex show from the said condominium unit.
"The PNP is going after traffickers who prey on women for sexual exploitation. We urge the public to report to us similar illegal activities for immediate police intervention,” Sinas said.
The ACG is now coordinating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the identification of the porn sites, where the sensitive videos were uploaded. (Third Anne Peralta-Malonzo / SunStar Philippines)
