Herrera’s house at 1 Sto. Niño Street, Purok 3 and and a rented apartment at 102 Tauros Street, Doña Adela Subd., Phase 1 Barangay Sta. Cruz yielded 13 computer sets, three monitors, eight hard disks, six routers, 11 webcams, seven mouse, P85,000 and $1,000.

Herrera, 28, who uses the aliases “Vince,” “Lance,” “Teng,” and “Ariel,” was detained at the CIDU office. His alleged business partner, Marissa Rodriguez, is at large.

Criminal charges were filed against the suspect for recruiting, hiring and maintaining trafficked persons to engage in pornography. Using www.asianbabes-cams.com., the suspect allegedly pays his models P20 per minute for posing in the nude. The rescued models, Angelyne and Kim, are now under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
