JOHOR BARU: A 39-year-old woman has been arrested by the police here for allegedly forcing her two daughters, aged eight and 10, into prostitution.
State police chief Comm Datuk Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd said the unemployed woman is believed to have forced her daughters to provide sexual services to three Bangladeshi men.
He said initial investigations revealed that the woman had been taking her daughters to a budget hotel in Larkin to provide the sexual services since last month.
He said that the woman would receive RM50 each time the girls were prostituted.
Comm Mohd Khalil said following a tip-off, police arrested the woman on Oct 25 at Taman Bintang in Senai.
"The daughters have been sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital for check-ups and will later be taken to the Welfare Department for further action," he said during a press conference here on Monday.
He added that the case was being investigated under Section 372 of the Penal Code for soliciting and Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.
"Police are also investigating the case under Section 14 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007," Comm Mohd Khalil said.
He also said that the police are looking for the three Bangladeshis involved and urged those with information on the case to come forward.
