Hong Kong police forcibly entered a guest house room on Wednesday to rescue two missing girls, aged 12 and 16, who were filmed having sex with two males.
Officers arrested a 19-year-old jobless man and a 16-year-old male student at the guest house in Yau Ma Tei. The male student had been reported missing.
Police conducted the raid after investigating reports of several missing young people.
An investigation had found that a 19-year-old man was booking rooms with other underage individuals at the guest house, according to Senior Inspector Wu Wing-ka of the Kowloon West regional crime unit.
A police source said the arrested individuals met the girls through social media and brought them to various guest houses and engaged in sexual activities while recording videos of the acts.
