Woman charged with producing pornographic materials

A WOMAN has been charged with producing pornographic photographs of herself to promote prostitution in a remote logging camp in Western, acting South Fly police commander Snr Insp Ewai Segi says.
“She is also accused of distributing her pornographic photographs to promote prostitution in the Tapila Logging Camp in the Aramia-Gogodala local level government area,” Insp Segi said.
He said the woman was detained in the Daru police station and would appear in court next week.
“We believe that she might be involved in a pornography-prostitution racket,” Insp Segi said.
In another case, the Kerema District Court jailed nine drug smugglers to 10 months with hard labour each at Bomana.
Acting Gulf police commander Snr Insp Michael Pakyei said the court found enough evidence to convict the men from Kainantu in Eastern Highlands for having in possession of 40kgs of marijuana.
“These men were arrested at Sapeharo Bridge in Malalaua on June 13 after walking along the bush track from Morobe,” he said.
“They travelled by road to Menyamya from Kainantu on a vehicle.
“From Menyamya, which is at the border of Morobe and Gulf, they walked on bush track to Sapeharo and were waiting for a PMV to bring them to Port Moresby when a police vehicle patrolling the road became suspicious of them and their baggage.”
