CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – A suspected cybersex den operator and her two employees were nabbed by operatives of the Pampanga Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Team during a raid in Sitio Camalig, Barangay Dau in Mabalacat town, police said Tuesday.
Police identified the suspects as Mitchel Abunido Aguiero, 27, alias Pops Powell, of 2-7 Plaridel ll, Barangay Amsic in Angeles City; Erica Alopo-op, 27, of Sitio Camalig; and Rommel Paragas, 24, of Sitio Abacan, Barangay Balibago in Angeles City.
Chief Insp. Randy Glenn Silivio, chief of the PCIDT, said Aguiero appeared to be the owner of the Powell Web Marketing Corporation in Dau, while Alopo-op is reportedly its human resource management officer. Paragas was introduced as a “trainer” of the firm’s cyber models.
He said the suspects did not resist when the raiding team, armed with a search warrant, raided the firm’s office where eight young female models were also rescued.
The search was witnessed by several barangay officials.
The raid stemmed from the complainant of a certain Rosalyn Nantes who revealed to the police the alleged operation of the cybersex den in Aguiero’s rented office. She said nude women pose before web cameras to entice clients, who are mostly foreigners, inside the office.
The raiders seized 30 computer sets with two servers, as well as assorted sex toys in different cubicles where cyber models allegedly perform.
Police said the rescued women are believed to have been forced to work as cyber models. They were later released to the Social Welfare and Development Office for custody and debriefing.
Aguiero pointed to a British national, Andy Martin Powell, as the alleged financier of the cybersex operations. Powell was not around during the raid.
