SEMARANG - Junaidi Bobby, the Muncikari accused of online prostitution in the Semarang District Court, has a list of 23 women who will be "sold" to consumers who use his services.
"There are 23 people, they are 'freelance'. If there are consumers who order, I offer the photos," Bobby said in a trial led by Chief Justice Nenden Rika Puspitasari at the Semarang District Court, Tuesday, with the agenda of examining the defendant.
He explained that the photos of women offered were tailored to the wishes of consumers.
According to him, the women whose photos were offered to potential consumers of online prostitution had given permission and knew about the work they were going to undertake.
"There is no threat or pressure. They know the work they are given to accompany men," said the man who works as a make-up artist.
In fact, he said that he often coordinates with other pimps to find a list of women who match the wishes of consumers.
Of the dozens of women he employed, he said one of them was an Instagram celebrity (celebgram) with the initials TE who was eventually arrested by the Central Java Police while accompanying his customers in Semarang.
In the hybrid trial, Bobby admitted that he knew TE because he had previously worked in the same job.
In this work, he said, TE was promised a fee of Rp. 16 million, which was only paid Rp. 5 million.
The defendant stated that he had never threatened or forced TE.
In fact, according to him, TE voluntarily did the "work" because he complained that he was experiencing financial difficulties.
The trial of this case itself will be continued next week with the agenda of demands from the Public Prosecutor.
The defendant Junaidi Bobby along with women with the initials TE and FDB were arrested by the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation of the Central Java Police on December 15, 2021.
TE and FDB are secured in their respective hotel rooms while serving guests.
In this case, the defendant Bobby Junaidi was snared in layers, namely Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the eradication of the crime of trafficking in persons, Article 296 or Article 506 of the Criminal Code concerning prostitution.
