A 17-year-old girl, who reported being forced into prostitution for a year, shared her chilling story with the prosecutor's office. The child, who stated that her younger sister was also forced into prostitution, said she was with 150 to 180 people a day. FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION WITH HER SISTERThe account of a 17-year-old girl is hair-raising. According to a report on the Arena program hosted by Uğur Dündar on Sözcü TV, the girl, born in 2007, gave a statement to the Istanbul Anadolu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. The girl, who said she had been forced into prostitution for a year, indicated that her sister, who is 1.5 years younger, was in the same situation in Antalya. The victim girl stated, "Until two days ago, I was doing prostitution. I wanted to quit this work. The social services department spoke with me. They called the police. This is how the process started." "THEY WERE WITH 180 PEOPLE A DAY"Lawyer Semra Yıldız, who made a statement on the matter, said, "This organization consists of a total of 1024 agencies, and these agencies, especially using open lines, provided customers by using girl children, including those under 18..." It was stated that the girls were with 150 to 180 people a day, and the report included the phrases, "150, 180 are the numbers that the girls begged to be reduced. The demand is between 300 and 400. 150, 180 are the numbers that the girls said they could no longer handle this work." PLACED UNDER STATE PROTECTIONAdditionally, the 17-year-old girl stated in her testimony at the prosecutor's office that she saw 3-4 other children like herself in prostitution organizations. While the girl was placed under state protection, the chief prosecutor sent the investigation file to Bursa due to lack of jurisdiction.
