A recent investigation by Roya News has uncovered a disturbing trend of prostitution being facilitated through a mobile application.

The app, which remains unnamed, allows users to engage in video calls with individuals offering sexual services in exchange for money.

The investigation revealed that users of the app can purchase virtual gold coins to initiate written conversations with the women using the platform. These conversations often lead to requests for video calls, which come at a cost of several gold coins per minute.

The app offers a brief period of free viewing before users must pay for video calls. Prices for these calls can range up to 60 gold coins per minute. Users can purchase 660 gold coins for around JD 2.7, providing them with a week-long validity period.

The investigation revealed that many of the women on the app reside in Jordan and use it as a means to connect with clients easily and discreetly. Some users reported receiving numerous video calls from accounts with suggestive names.

Additionally, the investigation found evidence suggesting that some individuals are behind the recruitment of women for the app's prostitution services. These individuals may incentivize the women to engage in sexual activities with users in exchange for financial compensation, often paid through the purchase of gold coins.

- Legal Ramifications and Calls for Action -

Dr. Ashraf Al-Rai, a legal expert, emphasized that such activities are criminal offenses under Jordan's Penal Code and Cybercrime Law. He stressed the importance of combatting these practices, which exploit vulnerable individuals and pose significant risks to society.

According to Jordan's Cybercrime Law, individuals involved in disseminating or promoting pornographic content online face imprisonment and fines. The law also holds accountable those who facilitate prostitution through electronic means.

Al-Rai highlighted the severe penalties for such offenses, including imprisonment for no less than six months and fines ranging from JD 3,000 to JD 6,000.

Bassam Al-Sarhan, the Chairman of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, clarified that while the commission cannot block the app without an official court order or directive from the relevant authority, it can comply with requests to block access to it from licensed telecommunication companies.

In light of these findings, Roya News will provide detailed information about the app to all relevant authorities in Jordan to take necessary action against its usage.
