The cross-provincial "Momo" prostitution group collapsed: the police cracked the case of prostitution organized by a large organization in Zhejiang

The police thundered, and the inter-provincial "Momo" prostitution gang had nowhere to hide

312 people! The police smashed a large prostitution ring, as young as 14 years old, and even couples...

Under the precise command of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department and the Shaoxing City Public Security Detachment, the Shaoxing Shengzhou police recently successfully smashed a gang that committed crimes across provinces and used online platforms such as "Momo" and "Lianxin" to introduce prostitution.

A total of 312 people involved in the case were arrested in this operation, and the illegal profits involved in the case were verified to be as high as more than 1,200 yuan, and this prostitution gang that had been circulating in Zhejiang Province for a long time was smashed in one fell swoop.

Online solicitation of prostitution, a real crime under a virtual identity

In November last year, the Shengzhou police in Shaoxing accidentally discovered during an online inspection that someone had openly posted prostitution information on social software such as "Momo" and "Lianxin". These publishers use fictitious names and identities, like ghosts hidden in the dark, trying to evade the law in this way. However, no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight a good hunter, and the Shengzhou police gradually unveiled the mystery of this gang with their keen sense of smell and solid investigation skills.

The Guizhou Gang has risen, and the prostitution industry chain has surfaced

After months of in-depth investigation, the police found that most of the gang was composed of people from Xingren County, Guizhou. They gradually developed and grew in the way of villagers leading villagers, forming a prostitution industry chain with a clear division of labor and strong mobility. The members of these gangs formed groups and carried out the model of one or two women who had lost their footing, and transported them to 20 counties and cities in six regions, including Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Jinhua, for door-to-door service. Their base is mainly in Dongyang City, Zhejiang, but the location of prostitution is spread all over the surrounding counties and cities, forming a huge cross-provincial prostitution network.

In the early hours of the morning, the police thundered and closed the net

After fully grasping the criminal pattern and characteristics of this gang, the Shengzhou police decided to launch an operation to close the net. They set up a special work squad and formulated a thorough arrest plan by dispatching capable police forces such as public security, network security, and operational reconnaissance. Between November last year and March this year, the police dispatched 18 action teams and more than 200 arresting police officers to carry out three waves of unified net collection operations against the organization and the prostitution ring. In order to ensure the success of the arrest operation, the police deliberately chose to conduct a surprise attack at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, because most of the suspects were still asleep during this time. After three thunderous operations, the police took coercive measures against 55 people, arrested 41 prostitutes (including 7 underage women), arrested 216 prostitutes, and seized 11 vehicles and more than 100 mobile phones at the scene.

The prostitution industry chain is revealed, and the division of labor is clear and the commission is proportional

This inter-provincial prostitution ring operates in a rather professional manner. They have a clear division of labor within themselves, and each performs its own duties. The chatter is responsible for soliciting prostitutes through the online chat software, while the driver is responsible for transporting the lost woman to a designated location every night to provide door-to-door service, and also serves as a lookout and protection. Once the business is negotiated, the woman who has lost her footing gets paid half of the prostitution money, while the other half goes to the chatter. This clear division of labor and commission system makes the operation of this gang more efficient and hidden.

The boyfriend takes his girlfriend into prostitution, and the young age of women who have lost their footing attracts attention

In this case, the police also found a shocking phenomenon: the trend of young women who have lost their footing is becoming more and more serious. Of the 41 women arrested, seven were minors, the youngest of whom was only 14 years old. What is even more distressing is that many of these organizations also bring their girlfriends to participate in prostitution. These young girls, who are supposed to chase their dreams and enjoy the good times of their youth in school, fall victim to prostitution rings. This phenomenon of boyfriends taking their girlfriends into prostitution not only seriously infringes on women's legitimate rights and interests and personal dignity, but also has a great negative impact on society.

Historical Origins and Reflections: The Past and Present Changes of the Prostitution Industry

Since ancient times, the prostitution industry has accompanied the development of human society. From the ancient Qinglou Chu Pavilion to the modern online platform prostitution, the prostitution industry has not changed in its essence, although it has different forms. It is both a testimony to the moral decay of society and a portrayal of human greed. However, with the progress of the times and the improvement of the rule of law, we have become more and more vigorous in cracking down on the prostitution industry. This time, the Shaoxing and Shengzhou police successfully smashed the inter-provincial prostitution ring, which was not only a powerful deterrent to criminals, but also a powerful safeguard of the social atmosphere.

In today's society governed by the rule of law, any illegal and criminal acts will be severely punished by law. The successful investigation of this cross-provincial "Momo" prostitution case once again demonstrates the firm determination and strong ability of the mainland police to crack down on illegal crimes.

At the same time, we should also reflect on how to strengthen the protection and education of minors to prevent them from going astray and falling prey to the prostitution industry.
