KLANG: Police have detained six more women to assist investigations into a local "gigolo" who recorded himself having sex with more than 20 women and then sold the videos.
Federal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said all the women, aged between 21 and 36, were arrested last week.
"Investigations revealed that these six women engaged voluntarily in sexual relationships (with the man), without coercion, and some were motivated by financial gain. All have been remanded to assist in investigations," he told reporters.
On Friday, it was reported that a father of three, who became viral on social media as "Hot Daddy", was charged along with two women for advertising sexual activities on the X application (formerly known as Twitter) under the handle Notyourdaddy (@Hotdaddyyxx).
Hasli Ikhwan Arif Zul Hasli, 32, and Norhidayah Mahadi, 24, who are self-employed, along with private company manager Norshazrina Md Zamri, 27, claimed trial after the charge was read before Sessions Court judge Siti Aminah Ghazali.
According to the charge, they were accused of advertising sexual services using the X application at CID's Anti-Vice, Gaming and Secret Societies Division (D7) office at federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman at 10.10am on Jan 16.
The charge was made under Section 372(1)(e) of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same code, which carries a maximum penalty of imprisonment for up to 15 years, whipping, and a fine upon conviction.
Previously, it was reported that a man involved in selling recorded sex videos with more than 20 women of various ethnicities through social media was arrested in Janda Baik, Pahang.
He was nabbed by D7 policemen from Bukit Aman at a house in Kampung Janda Baik in Bentong, at 2.30pm on Jan 17.
In the same raid, the police detained two female acquaintances at the house also inhabited by the father of the man.
