East Pattaya Webcam Sex Show operators arrested by Police

Posted on March 16, 2013 at 4:42 pm

Three Europeans and three Thai’s were arrested early on Saturday Morning at a housing estate in East Pattaya, accused of producing and distributing pornographic videos and live webcam sex shows.

Police Major General Katcha, the Provincial Police Commander held a press conference at Nongprue Police Station on Saturday Morning to announce the arrest of Mr. Ethan Marcel Christopher Janzwarts aged 46 from The Netherlands, Mr. Zagar Luka aged 32 from Slovenia and Miss Melanie Pirich aged 27 from Austria. Police also seized a selection of sex toys and video making equipment at the small village in Soi 27 off the Siam Country Club Road just after 5am on Saturday.

Police obtained a search warrant based on information gained from a subscription web site which showed pre-made videos and live webcam sex shows. When Police entered they saw Miss Pirich in front of one of the cameras and she appeared to be in the middle of a show and was wearing only a bikini. Three Thai Nationals were found in another of the houses at the resort and were identified as participants in a number of the videos found on the website. 3g of Crystal Methamphetamine were also found in one of the houses and all 6 individuals subsequently failed presumptive drug tests.

The website is operated from the United States of America and the arrestees claimed they were paid via international money transfer from the US.

The group have been charged with a variety of offences relating to the production and distribution of pornographic material which is strictly forbidden in Thailand. This despite the fact they denied knowledge of these laws and thought their actions were not illegal.

All harmless fun, as long as all are consenting adults, what's the problem? Many more pressing issues for the BIB to deal with i think.

But hey, according to most on this forum, they never pay anybody and want to remain law abiding citizens, in Thailand.... I love Thailand, just for this, if you want, and have the money, you can buy yourself out of anything, including murder. What a great country this is!

Ok,,now all complain how corrupt this country is. Look at you "home" county, doesn't happen there? Yes it does at high levels, be glad the corruption is here is still at low levels where YOU can get the advantage! If you can't beat them, join them!
