Teen Girl Jailed in Bali After Selling Other Girls for Sex

Denpasar. A Bali court sentenced a teenage girl to three years in prison on Monday for selling three younger girls into the sex trade.

The Denpasar District Court also ruled that Ananda Fitriani, 17, should pay a Rp 30 million ($3,270) fine or serve an additional two months behind bars for failure to pay.

Handing down the verdict, Judge Erly Soelistiarini said that Fitriani was clearly guilty of violating Article 88 on the economic and sexual exploitation of a minor, under the 2002 Child Protection Law.

She could have faced up to 10 years in prison and Rp 200 million in fines.

The sentence was lighter than the six years and Rp 60 million in fines sought by prosecutors.

The case came to the attention of the authorities after the parents of one of the victims, identified only as 16-year-old I.S., reported in January that their daughter was missing.

Police later found her in a boarding house on Jalan Raya Sesetan in Denpasar, which belonged to Fitriani’s family.

Fitriani also lived there.

Police said I.S. told them that for three days, Fitriani had forced her to provide sex for men in a number of hotels.

She told officers that from the Rp 400,000 to Rp 500,000 ($44 to $55) each man paid, Fitriani gave her Rp 200,000 to Rp 300,000 and kept the rest.

Police said that Fitriani sold two other girls, also 16, to men for sex in hotels in Denpasar and Kuta.

Given that the girls she was selling were 16, I would say just as well you did not meet her.....

So I suppose the family was none the wiser to the girl's activities? Yeah, that's the ticket!

Sad to see young people carted off to jail but she knew she was breaking the law, just in Indonesia there is such a moral malaise that you worry if the kids really know right from wrong.

She must have as she was keeping half the money, but still too young to be in their crappy jail system

Taking a backhander for a service of a few hundred thousand is very common in Indonesia, she must have seen it often with peopel in positions of authority such as policemen, government workers etc. Only one small step to taking an arrangement fee.
