Five Individuals Charged with Operating Interstate Prostitution Ring


BOSTON – Five individuals were arrested in three states today and charged in connection with operating a long-running interstate prostitution ring.

Yoon I. Kim, 36, of Haymarket, Va.; Taehee Kim, a/k/a “Hyunsook Kim,” 46, of Haymarket, Va.; Jineok Kim, 38, of Watertown, Mass.; Kyung Song, 52, of Lexington, Mass.; and Susan Bashir, a/k/a “Susan Redmon,” a/k/a “Susan Redmond,” 41, of Stone Mountain, Ga., were charged in a criminal complaint with one count of conspiracy to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce individuals to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution. The defendants were arrested today and appeared in federal courts in Boston, Virginia, and Atlanta.

According to the criminal complaint, beginning in at least November 2015, the defendants operated an interstate prostitution network with multiple brothels in high-end apartments in Cambridge, Mass.; Atlanta, Ga.; and eastern Virginia.

They advertised appointments with Asian women primarily on three websites: www.bostonasiandolls.com, www.exoticasiansatlanta.com, and www.redhotflowers69.com.

The women advertised on the websites were moved from city to city within the network, working as prostitutes for the organization.

Co-conspirators collected the cash earnings from the women working at the brothels and made bulk deposits—sometimes thousands of dollars at a time in cash—at ATMs near the brothels, funneling the money into accounts controlled by other co-conspirators. Co-conspirators also used U.S. Postal money orders and the U.S. Mail to transport proceeds from the prostitution network.

The charge of conspiracy to persuade, induce, entice, or coerce women to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution provides for a sentence of no greater than five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain/loss, whichever is greater. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

United States Andrew E. Lelling; Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston; Raymond Moss, Acting Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service; and Cambridge Police Commissioner Branville G. Bard Jr. made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorneys David J. D’Addio and Amy Harman Burkart of Lelling’s Civil Rights Enforcement Team are prosecuting the case.

These rings are organized however the vast majority of the girls aren't coerced.
I talk to the Chinese, Thai, Korean and Viet providers all the time.
The Chinese come here to work. Most of the girls don't know the difference between OC and LA. Sometimes the ones in Irvine or Tustin don't realize they aren't in LA.
The Korean defendants here clearly had the supply line of girls coming to work. All the VISAS over time will alert the federal authorities. Once the girls start getting popped locally and the feds get involved, the jig is up.
I believe this just happened to a killer Viet place I found recently in Playa del Rey.
