Authorities Arrest Man Involved in Online Pimping

MOST WANTED PERSON – A 23-year-old man was arrested in Malabon City for his alleged involvement in online pimping. 

Pimping is the act of managing or arranging sexual services in exchange for money, usually by controlling or profiting from others who perform those services. In many cases, it involves exploitation especially if someone is forced, manipulated, or taken advantage of. 

Recently, a male suspect listed as one of the Top 10 Most Wanted Persons for May 2025 was arrested by both the Northern Police District and the Malabon City Police Station.

The suspect, who works as a farm helper and lives in Barangay Tonsuya, was captured during a manhunt operation led by Police Colonel Jay Baybayan. Authorities arrested him around 12:45 p.m. on May 1 along Palmario Street in the same barangay. 

His arrest was based on a warrant issued by Judge Catherine Therese Tagle-Salvador of the Regional Trial Court Branch 73 in Malabon City. He faces charges for violating Republic Act No. 11930, also known as the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials Act. 

The warrant, dated April 8, 2025, came with no option for bail, meaning the offense is considered serious.

The arrest shows the ongoing efforts of local police to crack down on online sexual abuse and exploitation, especially those involving young people. It also shows how seriously these crimes are now being treated under new laws. 

Cases like this remind everyone to stay vigilant, report suspicious online behavior, and help protect others especially the most vulnerable from online exploitation.
