Law Enforcement Nabs Bay Area Couple Running $2 Million Sex Trafficking RingWe can count this story as another victory in the fight against human trafficking. Milpitas police recently arrested a Bay Area couple on suspicion of operating a multi-million dollar, sex trafficking ring.
“The investigation began in December of 2019, when detectives from the Milpitas Police Department and Investigators from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office identified a brothel in the City of Milpitas,” the police department said in a statement.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
According to prosecutors, David Davies, 57, and Larong Hu, 38, advertised their brothel on Backpage and through their own website. They allegedly trafficked women from overseas and confiscated their passports once they arrived. Six female victims were rescued, and $2 million was seized in the investigation. The rescued victims were provided services through Community Solutions, an organization that provides critical services for victims of human trafficking, according to police.
From the bowels of that "Special Place in Hell". You can imagine the sort of environment in which I wish Davies and Hu would be incarcerated.
