Reasons Why Cynthiara Alona Became a Suspect in Prostitution Case, Admits to Knowing There Are Underage Children Used as PSK

Kapanlagi.com - The Hotel Alona owned by actress and model Cynthiara Alona was raided by the police for being proven to be an online prostitution den. After undergoing an examination, the 35-year-old woman was immediately named a suspect.

The reason Alona was named a suspect is because she was aware of her business as a prostitution venue. There are two pieces of evidence that directly place her in that position.

"Yesterday, someone asked what the context was for CA being named a suspect. Here, she knows directly. There are two pieces of evidence that we have obtained to name her as a suspect and carry out the detention," said Yusri Yunus, Head of Public Relations of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, during a press conference on Friday (19/3/2021).

1. Involving Underage Children

The fact that further complicates Cynthiara Alona's case, the perpetrator of prostitution who is later referred to as a victim, is that the majority of them are underage. She collaborated with a pimp with the initials DA and a manager with the initials AA.

"We agree to call these 15 people victims because they are all underage children, with an average age of 14 to 15 years old. The hotel management, both the owner and the manager, provide a place and even know that the children who go there do not need to use an ID card," Yusri continued.

2. Economic Issues as the Reason

Cynthiara Alona made her business location in the Kreo area, Tangerang, a place for prostitution due to financial reasons. This illegal practice has been going on for the past three months.

"The motivation is economic problems. She saw that the COVID-19 situation made hotels empty, so she made it easier in one way. But it is wrong to provide online prostitution in her place," Yusri explained.
