• Cyber Crimes Division probing complaints received

With regard to concerns surrounding the provision of sexual services via online platforms, the Police said that while responding to complaints, they are actively looking into offences committed through the provision of such services.

“There have been some complaints over this issue, and the Police Cyber Crimes Division has taken note of it,” Police Media Spokesperson and Assistant Superintendent of Police Attorney F.U. Wootler told The Daily Morning, adding that the Police are taking necessary steps to address any instances of online sexual harassment and sexual or human smuggling that may arise, and that action will be taken in line with the existing laws and regulations.

He further said that although having sex in private between those who have reached the legal age of consent is not an offence, if these services constitute an offence under the existing laws, including the Penal Code, legal action will be taken.
