Miami Socialite Arrested for Trafficking Underage Girls on Yacht

On November 15, 2025, a Miami Beach socialite named Kutay Satiroglu, 45, was arrested for his alleged involvement in a human trafficking operation. Satiroglu is accused of sexually and physically abusing a 17-year-old girl on his yacht and forcing her to have sex with his friends, charging up to $800 per encounter.

The investigation began after the teen's family reported that she was being held captive on Satiroglu's boat. The girl claimed that Satiroglu kept her on his vessel and forced her to perform sexual acts, while also trafficking two other women as part of his boat business.

Satiroglu has been charged with human trafficking, lewd and lascivious battery on a child, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A Miami-Dade judge has ordered him to be held without bond. Prior to this arrest, Satiroglu had an extensive criminal record with over 50 offenses.
