MANILA, Philippines — Two foreigners based in London have been accused of exploiting young Filipino women through online sex shows, according to a sworn complaint filed before the Pasay City Prosecutor’s Office.

The complaint named Italian Aden En Nouri and British-Indian Centvin Menez as respondents in the qualified trafficking case.

Two foreigners face trafficking complaint in Pasay City

The complainants, both Pasay residents, said the two men paid to watch them perform sexual acts in live video calls arranged by a woman they knew only as “Mami Jhane.”, This news data comes from:http://www.771bg.com

They claimed they were recruited in May 2025 after meeting Mami Jhane, who introduced herself as a floor manager at an upscale KTV bar along Roxas Boulevard. When they declined to work as guest relations officers, they were persuaded to join “online shows” for foreign clients.

In their affidavit, the two women said En Nouri pressured them during their first session to remove their masks, offering extra pay if they performed sex acts on camera. They alleged that he later became a frequent client, requesting explicit photos and videos for what he claimed was “personal use.”

One of the complainants claimed that Nouri became her regular customer.

“He told me that his real name is Adel En Nouri, that he is Italian, living in London, United Kingdom,” the complaint-affidavit read. Nouri, according to the complainant, even showed a picture of his house in London.

Menez, who presented himself as a factory worker in London, allegedly preferred that the women wear schoolgirl uniforms during sessions. He too became a regular customer.

Payments were sent through online transfers, with each session earning the women up to ₱11,000. The complainants said both men encouraged them to pose as teenagers, which they found disturbing.

They decided to file the complaint after Mami Jhane disappeared in August following a police raid on her workplace.

Their lawyer, Gary Baliyot, said the repeated acts over several months, the use of the internet and electronic devices, and the involvement of multiple perpetrators elevated the offense to trafficking by a syndicate. The case is now pending for review by prosecutors.
