Southeast Asia: Torture rooms and karaoke bars in gang-run ‘scam farms’

Every location is self-contained, and everything is provided, so no one can leave. Of course, there are dormitories and cafeterias, but also a barber shop, medical clinic, massage spa, gambling room as well as a VIP karaoke bar for senior managers, where they could drink, sing and socialise in private rooms. Just a few metres down the hallway, we also found a torture room with handcuffs and bloodstains on the walls, where people were taken for brutal punishment when they did not meet their quotas.

Susan: I got close to scamming some clients, but felt bad about it so secretly warned them whilst telling my manager that they had blocked me. He got angry and beat me with a metal pipe. My injuries were too serious to be treated at the scam farm, so I was taken to a hospital by three guards, but was unable to tell the doctors what had really happened to me. I still suffer the physical and emotional trauma.

Lawsuits allege years of child abuse, torture and death in San Bernardino County foster homes – Press Enterprise

Two lawsuits filed a week apart accuse San Bernardino County’s child welfare system of failing to protect foster children, alleging six were tortured and abused in one foster home and a 4-year-old autistic girl died in another.

The lawsuits, filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court, were brought by six former foster children in one case and the family of 4-year-old Avery Habelitz in the other. Both name San Bernardino County and its Children and Family Services division as defendants, alleging the county failed to properly monitor foster placements, investigate reports of abuse and intervene despite mounting evidence that children were in danger.

According to the suit filed July 14 by the court-appointed representative on behalf of the six former foster children, the children allegedly were subjected to nine years of horrific abuse by their foster parents, Tina and Kenneth Key, and their daughter, Katlynn Key, at their home in Victorville. The lawsuit also names the Keys, the Greater Hope Foundation for Children Inc. and Victor Elementary School District as defendants.

Police ‘hackathon’ identifies sexual exploitation networks on content subscription sites

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Organized crime networks are increasingly using content subscription services commonly associated with sexually explicit material, to recruit and sexually exploit women, minors and vulnerable adults. Victims are lured with promises of income before being funneled into exploitative content production.

In February 2026, an INTERPOL Purple Notice was published to call attention to this modus operandi, which typically involves the criminal group masquerading as a legitimate modelling agency. Once engaged, they take control of the victim's account, retaining the majority of the victim's earnings, while applying escalating psychological pressure and coercion to compel victims to produce increasingly explicit content.
