JAKARTA - Hotel Alona was raided by the police for online prostitution. After that, Cynthiara Alona as the owner was named a suspect along with the pimps and hotel managers. The suspects are charged with multiple articles, one of which is through Law Number 88 concerning Amendment to Law Number 23 concerning Child Protection, which carries a sentence of 10 years in prison for sexual exploitation of minors.

Quoted from the hotel rental portal, Agoda.com, Hotel Alona is located at Jalan Lestari No. 29, South Kreo, Larangan, South Tangerang, Karang Tengah, Tangerang. Hotel Alona is a 3-star hotel which has a swimming pool facility. This hotel provides 4 types of rooms, namely Suite Rooms, Family Rooms, Double Rooms and Premium Rooms.

Alona knows and agrees that her Hotel A is used as a place of prostitution to cover operational costs. "This hotel is a 2-star hotel, initially boarding houses are now hotels," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus.

This perverted method is intended so that the hotel can continue to survive amid the sluggish rate of hotel visits. "The motive is that the hotel occupancy pandemic is quite quiet so that there is an opportunity (to become a place of prostitution, red) so that operational funds will continue to run. This is what he did by accepting cases of obscene acts in his hotel, so that hotel operating costs will continue," said Yusri.

To the police, Alona admitted that he had made his hotel a place of online prostitution for the last three months. There were 15 victims who were caught, on average under the age of 14-15 years.

Pimps are ensnared young girls in various ways. "The way for pimps to recruit is that some are courted, some are offered jobs," he explained.

Alona also works closely with her pimps and hotel managers to find male customers who are masher. "The mode of cooperation is by offering minors, the term BO is by using My Chat to masher men with their respective roles," said Yusri.

Cynthiara Alona learned about the practice of sexual buying and selling and got a share of the proceeds. "The tariff is Rp.400,000-Rp1 million, the results will be divided. Is it only once a day, more. Some even serve guests for one victim. All victims will be protected and receive trauma healing," said Yusri.
