Man arrested for running 'Facebook' prostitution ring.JAKARTA police arrested a man suspected of running a prostitution business involving seven junior high school girls through Facebook, a police official said on Wednesday. Central Jakarta police detective chief Yoyon Toni Saputra said that Dede, 28, who was arrested on Monday, had allegedly committed the crimes for two years, kompas.com reported. The suspect, a resident of Manggarai, South Jakarta, allegedly recruited his neighbours to become prostitutes. The suspect allegedly used Facebook to solicit the girls, aged between 13 and 16 years old, at the price of 2 million rupiahs (S$283) each, sending them to meeting places as required by the buyers once the deals were made, according to Yoyon. Yoyon said the case was discovered after a teacher checked the Facebook account of a student who was a classmate of one of the girls. The teacher told the girl's father about what he found, and the father reported it to the police. The father said his daughter had changed in the past few months. 'She used to greet us before going to school, but now she never does. She is rebellious and often returns home late at night,' he said, adding that everyday he gave her 20,000 rupiah for pocket money. On Tuesday the police also arrested one of Dede's alleged customers, Alay, 50, in his room at Puri Kemayoran Apartment, Central Jakarta. He was arrested soon after a girl sent by Dede entered his room. -- JAKARTA POST/ANN http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/SEAsia/Story/STIStory_625859.html ______________________________________________________________________________ Sex offender Peter Chapman killed girl after posing as a teenager on Facebook. [Andrew Norfolk] A homeless sex offender posed as a handsome teenager on Facebook to lure a 17-year-old girl to a secluded location where she was kidnapped, gagged, raped and murdered. As Peter Chapman was jailed for life yesterday with a minimum term of 35 years, police urged parents and internet companies to see the case as “a wake-up call” to the “scheming, devious tricks of predatory paedophiles” online. Chapman, 33, a convicted rapist linked to numerous sex attacks, was on the sex offenders register but had not been seen by police for 13 months before the killing. He used photographs of an unknown teenager to reinvent himself on Facebook as “a bare-chested, good-looking boy in his late teens” who soon became friends with more than 100 young women on the social networking site. One of them was Ashleigh Hall, a childcare student suffering from low self-esteem, who could not believe her luck when Pete Cartwright — Chapman’s teenage alter-ego — showed an interest in her. They began chatting online, exchanged mobile phone numbers and started texting each other. Soon a meeting was arranged. Friends said Ashleigh was “giddy and excited” about a date with a 19-year-old boy. Ashleigh told her mother she was staying overnight with a girlfriend. Her new boyfriend told her that his father — Chapman posed as both father and son — would pick her up in his car and take her to meet him. Graham Reeds, QC, for the prosecution, told Teesside Crown Court that Chapman had now “sprung the trap; all he had to do was wait for her to fall into it”. He picked Ashleigh up from her home in Darlington, Co Durham, on a Sunday evening last October and drove her to a deserted lay-by. The plan was “calculated and wicked and it worked”. In the lay-by, in a car bought for £225 on eBay, he bound her wrists, mouth and nose with duct tape before raping her. Traumatised and unable to breathe, she slowly suffocated. Chapman then drove to a field on the outskirts of Sedgefield and dumped the girl’s body in a ditch. Within hours, he was trying to arrange to meet a woman with whom he had been texting. Chapman was arrested by chance — his car’s registration number was flagged in connection with an arson offence in Berkshire — 24 hours after the murder. Police had no idea that Ashleigh was missing until he announced to an officer that he had accidentally “killed someone”. He was due to go on trial for kidnap, rape and murder yesterday but at the last moment changed his pleas to guilty. Chapman also admitted failing to notify police of a change of address as required by the sex offenders register. Ashleigh’s mother, Andrea Hall, wept when the unshaven Chapman was led into the dock. She later urged parents to keep an eye on their children when they are using Facebook: “Ashleigh made one mistake and she paid for it with her life.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article7054518.ece Dangers of Facebook.
