TWO ARRESTED FOR OPERATING CYBERSEX DEN IN QUEZON PROVINCE
CALAUAG, Quezon — A cybersex den was dismantled by the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) in the town of Calauag, Quezon following an operation that led to the rescue of four victims and the arrest of two suspects, authorities said.
According to PNP-ACG Director Brigadier General Wilson P. Asueta, the operation was carried out under a warrant to search, seize, and examine computer data (WSSECD) after authorities received information regarding the alleged illegal recruitment and online sexual exploitation of individuals.
The two suspects, identified only by the aliases “Mommy,” 33, and “Daddy,” 28, were described as the handlers and operators of the cybersex den, which was reportedly operating inside a two-storey house. Authorities also seized computer equipment, communication devices, internet accessories, and other tools used for live streaming the illicit activities.
The rescued victims were immediately placed under protective custody and provided with necessary assistance. PNP-ACG said the operation followed intelligence validation to ensure the legality and effectiveness of the raid.
The suspects now face charges for violations of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act and relevant provisions of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. The PNP-ACG urged the public to report any cases of online abuse or human trafficking to the nearest police office.

Ayon kay Brigadier General Wilson P. Asueta, direktor ng PNP-ACG, isinagawa ang operasyon sa bisa ng warrant to search, seize, and examine computer data (WSSECD) matapos makatanggap ng impormasyon hinggil sa umano’y ilegal na recruitment at online sexual exploitation ng mga indibidwal.
Ang dalawang suspek, kilala lamang sa alyas na “Mommy,” 33 anyos, at “Daddy,” 28 anyos, ay inilarawan bilang mga handler at tagapamahala ng cybersex den na nagpapatakbo sa isang dalawang-palapag na bahay. Nakumpiska rin ang mga computer units, communication devices, internet equipment, at iba pang kagamitang ginagamit sa live streaming ng mga ipinagbabawal na gawain.
Ang mga biktimang nasagip ay agad na isinailalim sa protective custody at binigyan ng kinakailangang tulong ng mga awtoridad. Sinabi ng PNP-ACG na nagsagawa muna ng intelligence validation bago humingi ng search warrant upang masiguro ang legalidad at bisa ng operasyon.
Nahaharap ang mga suspek sa mga kasong paglabag sa Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act at mga kaugnay na probisyon ng Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Nanawagan ang PNP-ACG sa publiko na makipagtulungan sa pamamagitan ng pag-uulat ng anumang kaso ng online abuse at human trafficking sa pinakamalapit na opisina ng pulisya.
