Human Trafficking
Craig Offman, National Post
Published: Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Conservative MP Joy Smith will introduce a private member's bill that targets human trafficking, the lucrative organized-crime racket that typically lures boys, girls and women from small towns and turns them into sex slaves.
A woman who has been described as one of the most prolific madams in Greater Vancouver pleaded guilty to two prostitution-related charges in a Richmond provincial court on Tuesday.
Zhe Nai Xu, 42, of Richmond was facing seven charges but pleaded guilty to one count of keeping a common bawdy house and one count of living off the avails of prostitution.
The Crown is seeking 12 to 18 months of house arrest, and wants to seize one of the brothels owned by Xu, who is also known as "Pinky." Sentencing will take place in December.
Investigators claimed Xu, who was "one of the most prolific madams in the Lower Mainland," was taking in $1.3 million a year.
From the news, they report that all the working women were Korean, here as tourists and all have been sent back.
