A Miami Beach socialite was arrested for allegedly trafficking underage girls on his yacht and forcing them to have sex with him.
Kutay Satiroglu, 45, was taken into custody Wednesday after being accused of sexually and physically abusing a 17-year-old girl, according to NBC 6.
Police began investigating Satiroglu after the girl’s family reported that the teen was being held captive in his boat, the outlet said.
The girl alleged that Satiroglu kept her on his vessel and forced her to have sex with his friends while charging up to $800 for each, per a police report.
She also claimed the Florida man was trafficking two other women as part of his boat business.
Satiroglu was charged with human trafficking, lewd and lascivious battery on a child and contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to the Miami-Dade County corrections system.
He was booked into jail Thursday.
The teen reportedly first met Satiroglu in April at a nightclub. She told him she was 21, but admitted that same night she was actually underage.

Satiroglu allegedly offered the young girl, who has not been named, a job as a steward on his yacht, before they became a ‘couple.’
She said that they then moved into the yacht full-time, before he allegedly forced her into performing sexual services to pay for their vessel.
Satiroglu allegedly charged up to $800 for the underage teen to have sex with his friends, the report said.
The girl claimed Satiroglu taught her to get paid upfront and gave her drugs during the parties he hosted.
She told law enforcement Satiroglu had made her invite girl friends to his boat to have sex with him.
If she refused, he beat her, the report alleged.
The girl claimed he had become violent with her again only two days before she spoke to police.
