According to a police source, the 29-year-old mother, whose name was withheld, was arrested in Taiwan and will be flown back to Thailand on Thai Airways flight TG633, arriving at Suvarnabhumi airport at 5pm. The woman faces serious charges, including procuring her minor child for prostitution and human trafficking, which can result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of up to 2 million baht. An arrest warrant was issued last month after she allegedly compelled her daughter to work at a massage parlour in central Tokyo earlier this year before fleeing to Taiwan.
