A self-proclaimed ‘sex creator’ on social media platform X has told police he resorted to deceiving a 15-year-old victim into filming pornographic material due to a decline in his clientele.
Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division police executed a Criminal Court warrant and arrested 22-year-old Supakit near his apartment in Bang Khen district, Bangkok, on Friday. He faces charges of human trafficking for illicit interests, producing child pornography for distribution, persuading a minor to engage in indecent behaviour and introducing obscene material into a computer system.
He was found with a mobile phone, which has been seized as evidence.
Authorities tracked Mr Supakit from his activity on X, formerly Twitter, where he had more than 13,200 followers, posting pornographic materials to attract customers for a subscription service costing 299 baht.
Further investigation revealed he had coerced a 15-year-old student into creating multiple illicit videos, some filmed in public places including department stores and footbridges. The videos were tailored to meet his clients’ demands. Mr Supakit admitted to earning around 50,000 baht monthly from the work.
During police questioning, Mr Supakit admitted he began producing adult content over two years ago after being branded a ‘sex creator’. He said that he turned to producing child pornography after noting a drop in his followers, believing he needed to find new ways to excite his clientele.
Authorities have gathered sufficient evidence and are pursuing legal action against him for his alleged crimes.
