5 Boys Rescued in Thailand
Five boys were rescued from a local spiritual leader who exploited them online.
The monk preyed upon innocent children who sought him out for spiritual guidance, victimising them and posting videos of the abuse online. Our OSEC (online sexual exploitation of children) rescue team was instrumental in helping local authorities investigate and arrest the perpetrator.

When our undercover agent offered them a way out, all three girls accepted! They were enrolled in Freedom Plans to help them begin healing from the exploitation they’ve endured and equip them to remain free in the future.

Our agents collaborated with law enforcement in multiple operations across Asia to rescue people from international human trafficking. Most were lured out of their home countries when traffickers made false promises of good, well paying jobs. Once in the traffickers’ control, many victims were sexually abused before being forced into labor or sex trafficking.
Thanks to our agents’ involvement in gathering intelligence, performing interviews and helping with travel, all the victims (including 23 children) have been safely returned to their home countries.
