Taipei police have detained 17 Thai women and one Vietnamese woman in a raid on an alleyway sex business in the city's Wanhua district. Officers from the Wanhua police precinct and Taiwan's National Immigration Agency carried out the operation on Thursday, 17 September. Ten of the Thai women had overstayed their permitted stay in Taiwan.
The man who ran the business, a 53-year-old man named Zhang, was arrested before for running a similar operation. He did not advertise online and instead approached men in small alleys, taking them to nearby homes. Police acted after receiving repeated complaints from residents about the number of men coming and going. The business charged NT$1,500 per encounter, with the women keeping NT$800.
Prosecutors will consider charges against Zhang for offenses against public morals, while the women and two male customers face fines under Taiwan's Social Order Maintenance Act. Police vowed to continue cracking down on illegal sex businesses and encouraged residents to report suspicious activity by calling 110.
