A 14-year-old Israeli was arrested by police on suspicion of working as a pimp, Israeli newspapers reported Thursday.
"Instead of playing ball with his friends, he discovered there was lot of money to be made in the sex industry," the daily Maariv reported.
According to the newspaper, the adolescent allegedly employed two teenagers, age 17 and 19, to sell favors to Palestinian workers. In the beginning, he split the profits with the girls, but later began pocketing the entire amount.
The teen was apprehended Tuesday and faced a judge in a Jerusalem court, a police spokesman told AFP.
"The investigation is continuing," the official said. "We are looking to see if other people may be involved."
The two girls were averaging five customers per day and collecting 50 to 100 shekels (10 to 20 euros).
The juvenile's attorney, Reouven Bar Haim, disputed the charges.
"He saved the eldest girl. She had been itinerant for five years, long before he met her," the lawyer said in court.
