A 19-year-old woman arrested for producing and selling sex videos on social media tells police she earned between 70,000 and 90,000 baht a month from subscription fees.
Officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) arrested Kanpharawee during a raid in Nonthaburi, police said on Thursday.
Ms Kanpharawee was wanted following investigations after an X (formerly Twitter) user named "JINJIA" posted explicit videos online.
Examination of those clips showed that the user had engaged in sexual activities with various men, selling the videos through a secret group.
The X account also posted a link @jinjiasweetmeat, which led to another X account under the name "JJ SWEETMEAT". Both accounts had the same pornographic content.
The CCIB investigation traced the activity back to Ms Kanpharawee, owner of the two accounts.
During questioning, the woman admitted to producing and posting pornographic clips online and operated multiple X accounts.
The teenager claimed her sex tapes attracted many followers and were sold via her secret group. She often sold her accounts, each with over 300,000 followers, for a few thousand baht before creating new ones.
She had been producing and sharing these videos for more than four years, earning between 70,000 and 90,000 baht per month from subscription fees.
