Singaporean and Thai police smashed a seven-year prostitution network supplying Thai women to elite clients in the city state. Four organisers, including two Singaporeans, were arrested in Thailand, with a fifth suspect facing criminal proceedings. The breakthrough followed the arrest of 19 sex workers in Singapore. Police said the Lover’s Fortress network operated through sex websites and messaging apps, including Telegram, LINE and WhatsApp. Investigators traced payments, flights and accommodation to map how the business worked. The scheme allegedly relied on online advertising to recruit and arrange appointments, with travel and lodging organised as part of the operation. Police also reported suspected money laundering and evidence gathering that supported arrest warrants from Thailand’s Criminal Court. Raids and inquiries led to the seizure of cash, computers, phones and bank records. Singaporean police linked the network’s online presence to websites called 7th Heaven and 7th Heaven 2. At the centre of the case was a 46-year-old Singaporean national, Leow, who reportedly admitted arranging for Thai women to provide sexual services in Singapore since 2019. Investigators also identified a 42-year-old Singaporean man named Aaron as his business partner. Police arrested Leow’s Thai wife, Aphaphon, 37, who reportedly acknowledged coordinating travel, airline tickets and accommodation, and helping manage online activities used to attract customers. Another Thai woman, Nanthani, 33, received payments linked to the organisation, but denied knowing the account was used for prostitution. An online administrator, Pongsakorn, 35, reportedly admitted answering customer enquiries and editing photographs, acting on Aphaphon’s instructions. He was summoned to answer allegations rather than detained under a court warrant. The latest status is that the network has been shut down, with four organisers arrested and 19 sex workers detained in Singapore, while a fifth suspect faces criminal proceedings.
