BEIRUT: The Internal Security Forces said Wednesday that they busted a prostitution ring in the Metn town of Beit Mery, arresting six people including a Syrian minor.
On July 26, a 21-year-old Syrian woman filed a complaint against a man identified as Fawaz Jomaa, a Syrian, for confiscating her identification documents and blackmailing her into prostitution, the ISF said in a statement.
Police launched an investigation into the woman’s claims and a month later raided a house used for prostitution in Beit Mery.
The raid resulted in the arrest of Jomaa, 45, and his 25-year-old Lebanese wife on charges of running and facilitating the work of the prostitution ring.
The ISF also detained two Syrian men on charges of facilitating prostitution, a 35-year-old Syrian woman, and a 16-year-old Syrian girl for prostitution.
The raid was carried out by the Moral Protection Bureau of the ISF.
