“People in the industry informed me through audio and text messages that there were raffles or raffles, where the prize is to have sex with a woman plus a bottle of alcohol, this instrumentalization of women in this case and the scourge of prostitution in all its forms must be a priority for the authorities. We cannot allow this type of conduct which threatens the integrity of women. All my rejection,” said Amin.

In the audios presented, we hear: “It’s not that it’s everyday, sometimes they do it, sometimes they grab more maricadas, but when they grab pods, it’s usually an old woman and a bottle” (sic). Apparently the slot It’s made for opening a brothel. Immediately afterwards, the counselor presents the possibility that certain cases correspond to the commercial sexual exploitation of girls, boys and adolescents (to scan).
