The Anti-Human Trafficking Division of Thailand has arrested a transgender woman, 20-year-old Patthrapol Kongthan (or Ice), for online sex trafficking of minors. The arrest was made on September 28, 2024, based on an arrest warrant issued by the court accusing her of multiple offenses related to child prostitution and human trafficking, particularly involving minors under 18 years of age.
Patthrapol allegedly posed as a madam, luring girls aged 16-17 into providing sexual services. She advertised these services on social media using suggestive images, charging clients 1,300 baht per service, and keeping a portion for herself. Undercover officers posing as clients confirmed the illegal activities, leading to her arrest.
During the investigation, Patthrapol confessed to her crimes, and her extensive criminal history resulted in her being listed as a dangerous individual on various social media platforms. She is now facing legal actions under the Anti-Human Trafficking Act.
