An Indonesian actress has been arrested by police after she was found prostitution at a hotel. Investigations revealed that her rate was at 30 million rupiah (SGD$2.8K) for each service.
The actress said that because of the pandemic she had a loss of income and she was forced to work such a job as she did not have enough money.
Jakarta police found Indonesian soap opera actress Cassandra Angelie naked in a room at the Ascott Hotel in the city center during a raid last week, Indonesian media Tempo Metro reported.
The 24-year-old actress had performed five such transactions prior to her arrest.
Police said Cassandra Angeli also admitted that the coronavirus pandemic had greatly affected her financial status and claimed that this is the only reason that she was doing this.
In addition to Cassandra Angelie, police have also arrested three men in the operation, her “agent” and a man who was caught in a prostitution site.
Police also confiscated several items belonging to Cassandra Angeli, including a mobile phone, an ATM card, and a set of black underwear.
