Prostitution of women, and blackmailing of underage girls
17-1-2019
Al Mustaqbal highlighted today the case of a first sergeant in the Lebanese Army who facilitates and practices prostitution. Before the end of his military service and retirement, the suspect started to work on a taxi, the newspaper wrote. Initial investigation showed that he facilitated sex work through the transport of customers to hotels and was therefore, referred to the competent military court, where he reportedly denied the accusation. In the details, Al Mustaqbal said the sergeant confessed that he drove a number of ‘girls’ to one of the hotels where customers waited for them, pointing out that as he received ‘the pay for the ride’, he was dubbed a facilitator of prostitution in this respect. On the other hand, blackmailing of underage girls is still rampant across social media platforms. One resident of Abdeh in the North, reported to the police station at the regional gendarmerie unit, being a father of an underage girl, about a young man Kh.A (22 years) blackmailing her via whatsapp messenger. The suspect was arrested and admitted that he threatened to publish pictures of the girl if she did not give him what he wanted. In a related development, the General Directorate of State Security stopped a Syrian national, F. A, for killing and burying his 2 year and a half child, Nour, earlier in Bar Elias, Bekaa.
