Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Internal Security Forces arrested Thursday two Jordanian women and a Jordanian man for allegedly running a prostitution ring, a statement said Saturday.

The two women were arrested in an unidentified hotel where they were set to meet with their clients.

The women were identified as A.M, 24, and Z.A, 19.

The female suspects are accused of fishing for clients using Whatsapp and prostituting themselves in return for a fee ranging between 300 and 500 dollars.

Police also arrested the husband of the 24-year old Jordanian woman, who was identified as M.A..

The man was arrested while dropping off the two women at the unnamed hotel.

During interrogations, the 24-year old Jordanian woman confessed to offering sexual services in return for money and claimed that she was forced into prostitution by her husband who threatened to prevent her from seeing her child if she objected.

The 19-year old also confessed to being a prostitute and said that the Jordanian man facilitated her work.

The man denied both accusations levied against him.

As a result, authorities charged the man with human trafficking and facilitating prostitution.

The 19-year old was charged with prostitution while the 24-year old woman was released because she was deemed to be a victim of human trafficking.
