BANGKOK: A quiet northern town has been shocked by revelations that several government officials allegedly bought sex from underage girls for years. The abuse was uncovered when a former police informant found out late last year that her daughter was among a group of underage prostitutes. Now, the spotlight is on the sex trade in Mae Hong Son province, where at least three girls were allegedly forced into prostitution. She ended up being sold for sex almost every day for more than two years. Another alleged victim said Yutthachai once threatened to run her and other young prostitutes out of Mae Hong Son if they refused to serve his customers.
