Prostitution mediation investigations in Turkey

Overview

Investigations by Turkish prosecutors have uncovered different methods of alleged prostitution mediation and solicitation.

In Istanbul, an investigation titled “Ailem Güvende” (My Family is Safe) has focused on an alleged network involving paid sexual services for men. Testimony from a suspect suggests an individual named Emre Tanış facilitated these activities by using nude photographs of men to secure paid encounters and allegedly operated a WhatsApp group to market others.

In a separate case in Yalova, legal proceedings were initiated against Tevfik Beyhan and Dilan P. following a social media live stream. Beyhan, using the pseudonym ‘Reşo’, allegedly used the stream to invite young women to work at a casino by promising food, accommodation, and earnings. Investigations revealed Beyhan was a customer rather than a manager. He was arrested in Bursa, and prosecutors are seeking up to three years of imprisonment for the charge of ‘distributing or spreading products containing images, writings, or words prepared for the purpose of facilitating or mediating prostitution’.
