Two Chinese, Malaysian who lured Asian women to work in suburban brothel jailed in US
The three lured women of Asian descent from across the US to work as prostitutes, arranging for them to travel to Atlanta on commercial flights on a rotating basis roughly every 10 days
Two Chinese women and a Malaysian man whom prosecutors say operated a brothel near Atlanta that lured women from around the US to work as prostitutes have been sentenced to federal prison.
Court records show that 45-year-old Huang Xiaohong, 59-year-old Chow Chan Kong and 54-year-old Gong Biyun were sentenced Friday.
Huang and Gong are from China, while Chow is from Malaysia.
“Brothels remain a blight in segments of our communities,” US Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak said in a news release Tuesday.
“The prosecution of these defendants, the seizure of significant assets, and the dedication of law enforcement resources in targeting this long-running criminal scheme are a warning for others engaged in this conduct.”
