Tuoi Tre exposes ring supplying young boys for sex

Tuoi Tre exposes ring supplying young boys for sex

Monday, October 22, 2012, 12:47 GMT+7

Tuoi Tre investigative journalists have busted a ring supplying dozens of schoolboys as young as eight to homosexual men in Ho Chi Minh City, charging them $50 for oral sex and $100 for intercourse.

By pretending to be rich men searching for nubile boys, we joined a forum on a child sex website and managed to gain credibility among the online community and obtained the cell phone number and chat nickname of Mr. Thuan.

Thuan is a supplier of dozens of boys, mostly from the Hoc Mon Junior High School in the southern city. On October 8, Phong, a client looking for a boy, sent Thuan a message saying, “looking for a product [i.e a boy] for my boss to enjoy, when can he have [him]?” Thirty minutes later, Thuan messaged back “8 years old, lustful, sunburned skin, his face scores 8 marks [out of 10], good service, price 1 million (US$50)”.

Thuan then arrived at a café in Hiep Thanh ward, District 12 with a boy of around 11-12 years old with a nice face and fair skin named Bi.

Thuan said that since he was unable to reach an 8-year-old as promised, he took this boy instead, adding that Bi is still a virgin.

He charged the customer VND1 million (US$50) for a “kicking the hair” job (i.e fellatio) or VND2 million ($100) for a “stab” (i.e anal intercourse). An advance payment of VND200,000 was required.

According to Thuan, Bi rarely served clients and only appeared when a close contact made a recommendation. “Bi is a 6th grader with good academic performance… He only kissed and touched but never stabbed”, Thuan boasted.

Thuan even showed our undercover reporters many photos of boys saved in his cell phone. He claimed he is chairman of the “cartel named Dam Go association”, in charge of recruiting young boys and supplying them to clients.

After payment, a suitable boy will be found in three days, he promised.

Encounters can be carried out in hotels in the afternoon for one to two hours in District 12 or Hoc Mon district. The reason the boys are only available in the afternoon is that they have to attend school in the morning, Thuan explained.

Customers come from many walks of life, from students in Ho Chi Minh City to foreigners. They usually demand “hot boys with fair skin and undeveloped sexual organs”, the pimp revealed.

Tuoi Tre found that Thuan is managing dozens of boys, mostly between the ages of 12 and 14, and that Thuan himself is a homosexual and often uses them for his own pleasure.
