Turkish OnlyFans model and adult content creator Merve Taskin has been placed under house arrest after advertising a $11,000 Valentine’s Day date with a fan on social media.
Merve Taskin, 27, was arrested on February 14 and charged with offering “obscene services,” a criminal offense in Turkey. The Caglayan Court ordered her to remain under house arrest while authorities investigated her social media activity and mobile phone records.
Taskin, who has 124,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), posted an ad offering to be a “dinner girlfriend” for a fan on Valentine’s Day.
In the viral post, she listed the attributes of a date with her, boasting about her beauty, intelligence, and social status in Turkey:
“I can be the ‘dinner’ girlfriend for those who are single on February 14.”
“I’m communicative, we can talk a lot.”
“My beauty, you can create a good image with me on the outside.”
“I am known in Turkey, you can satisfy your ego within yourself.”
“I’m smarter than you expect, you’ll be surprised.”
She also humorously warned potential clients:
- “Benefit 1: I have great manipulation skills; be careful not to fall in love.”
- “Benefit 2: If you need motivation for something, I’m pretty good at that too.”
- “Benefit 3: I am humble.”
After the post went viral, Turkish authorities swiftly intervened, detaining Taskin on February 14 and bringing her before the court the following day.
Following her release under house arrest, Taskin described her detention experience on social media.
“I spent a night in a cold, stuffy, and unhygienic detention cell. One of the girls cried at first because she was locked in, but then she started laughing when she found out I was Turkish and there for social media.”
She also expressed disbelief at her situation:
“Someone tell me that I’ve been played a joke and that none of this is real.”
This is not Taskin’s first encounter with Turkish law enforcement. In 2021, she was sentenced to five months in prison for posting erotic photos online while on vacation in Amsterdam, including an infamous image of her riding a giant penis statue at the city’s Sex Museum.
Turkey has strict laws governing obscenity and morality, and authorities have increasingly targeted digital sex work and online adult content creators.
Although escorting is illegal in Turkey, social media-based enforcement remains rare. However, Taskin’s high profile and previous legal issues may have made her a prime target for authorities seeking to enforce moral laws.
Taskin remains under house arrest while authorities investigate. She could face further legal consequences if formally charged and convicted, including a fine or imprisonment.
