ANGELES CITY – An international humanitarian organization led the police and social workers to uncover a cybersex sex den using at least five children in Bamban, Tarlac last Wednesday.
Members of the Tarlac police, led by its head Supt. William Macavinta, social workers and representatives from the International Justice Mission (IJM) rescued the minors from a house maintained by Janice Baking at Ruby Narciso in Sitio Banaba in Barangay Dapdap in Bamban.
The team found the children performing salacious acts before digital cameras for a paying foreign “client.”
The police confiscated computer units, smart phones and other gadgets believed to have been used by the suspects for cybersex operations.
The suspects were charged with human trafficking. The rescued children were brought to the local social welfare office.
The IJM is an international, non-governmental organization focused on human rights, law and law enforcement. It has been crusading against cybersex operations, especially those involving children.
Founded in 1997 by lawyer Gary Haugen of the United States, it is based in Washington, D.C. and has 17 field offices in Africa, Latin America, South Asia and Southeast Asia, and five partner offices in North America, Europe and Australia.
All IJM employees are required to be practicing Christians, while 94 percent are nationals of the countries they work in.
