For the second time since 2018, federal authorities busted an Asian-run prostitution ring in Massachusetts. Five years ago, it was a bunch of Koreans who operated brothels in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Georgia, and eastern Virginia [Virginia Man Sentenced for Operating Interstate Prostitution Ring, Justice.gov, June 26, 2020].
This time, three Chinamen were operating brothels in the same area and in eastern Virginia. But it was the same modus operandi: advertise on websites to bring men into the sex parlors.
The suspects, Han Lee, James Lee, and Junmyung Lee, began operating in 2020, the criminal affidavit says. The money quote, though, explains just who was paying for the sex:
