CSD officers raided an apartment in Muang district and arrested Wichai Pensawad, 61, and rescued the girl at 7.30pm on Tuesday following a tip-off from the Paveena Hongsakul Foundation. The mother of the girl sought help from the foundation after girl called home, crying and saying that she had been forced into selling sex and a customer had beaten her. The mother told the foundation that her sister-in-law, Pavina Thongchua, 20, forced her daughter into the sex trade about seven months ago. Pavina was later arrested and admitted that she has been soliciting customers for the girl via a Line application. Wichai has allegedly bought a sexual service from the girl four or five times.
