In a startling revelation, Sri Lanka’s law enforcement agencies have reported a surge in incidents of live-streaming sexual content involving youth, who are allegedly selling these explicit clips to international companies.
According to recent disclosures by the police, these illicit activities have increased notably due to their lucrative nature. The police have received a significant number of complaints, primarily concerning young couples aged between 20 and 30 years. These individuals are reportedly engaging in live sex streaming sessions, which are then recorded and sold to various companies abroad for substantial profits. Some of these clips have reportedly found their way onto prominent pornography websites.
Authorities have intensified their efforts to curb this alarming trend and have already made several arrests in connection with these incidents.
In a related incident, the Piliyandala Police uncovered a large-scale racket involving the sale of live-streaming sex videos to a suspected Chinese company. Acting on information received, the Piliyandala Police arrested two couples residing in a rented house in the Batakettara area of Piliyandala. During questioning, it was revealed that the couples had moved into the house last March after residing in the Kollupitiya area. Another couple was also present during the police raid, and investigations have revealed their direct involvement in the racket.
Investigations further revealed that the company allegedly paid amounts ranging from Rs. 50,000 to 100,000 per video, depending on the quality and performance. The suspects, aged 22, 23, 26, and 27, were remanded after being produced before the Kesbewa Magistrate’s Court.
Meanwhile, police have reported a rise in incidents involving women engaging in prostitution under the guise of spa services. Investigations have revealed that these women are earning significant revenue through these activities. The police are conducting raids on brothels operating as spas to curb this illicit trade.
Additionally, police have identified numerous websites promoting these illegal services. According to sources, live-streaming packages start from Rs. 2,500 and go up to Rs. 30,000. These websites also provide information to arrange physical meet-ups for sex, with packages starting from Rs. 10,000.
These revelations follow complaints from individuals who were defrauded by advertisements on certain websites. The complainants alleged that the posts promoted prostitution and live cam videos, and despite making payments via eZ Cash or online banking, the promised services were not delivered.
The police have warned the public not to fall prey to these scams and cautioned that legal action will be taken against those involved. However, they acknowledge the difficulties in taking action as most of these incidents are individually operated.
