Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said an initial investigation revealed that the couple, who have four children, were involved in distributing pornographic content via the Telegram app.

He said the couple, both aged 34, were detained during a special operation codenamed Op Noda at a hotel in Section 27, Shah Alam, at about 8pm yesterday.

Police also seized three mobile phones, two condoms, a tube of lubricant, a packet of wet wipes, a bath towel, and a hotel room access card.

Rusdi said the couple began offering sexual services in June 2024.

“The suspects targeted customers who used the X app to market their pornographic videos, while Telegram was used as the main messaging platform to arrange prostitution services,” Utusan Malaysia quoted him as saying.

He said the videos were sold at prices ranging from RM50 to RM150, while the sexual services were offered for RM450 to RM800 at a four-star hotel.

“It is believed the suspects earned up to RM6,400 a week,” he said.

Rusdi said the husband was responsible for producing and promoting the explicit content, while the wife starred in the videos to help boost sales.
