The illegal operation was exposed after the eldest daughter, now aged 13, told
her school teacher several days before Chinese New Year's Eve on Feb. 6.
The student said that since October 2006, her mother had forced her and her two
younger sisters to serve as prostitutes, with patrons mostly men aged over 60.
At the time, the three sisters were aged 6, 7, and 10.
Following initial investigations, police found that men paid NT$500 to NT$1,000
for each incidence, and some patrons asked to be served by the three sisters
simultaneously.
The police have already located 8 suspects involved in the cases, and have
taken six into custody after interrogations, including the mother and five
patrons.
The Tainan County Government has stepped in to settle the housing and living
arrangements for the three sisters.
