Feds Indict Chinese National for Trafficking Women Into Boston Brothels

While many Americans are gearing up for the holiday weekend, federal authorities based in Massachusetts are targeting a disturbing sex trafficking network headed by a Chinese national.
Zengzeng Liu, also called “Bella,” is a 40-year-old Chinese national and lawful permanent resident of the United States who had been living in New York. She found a lucrative career, however, in trafficking women from multiple Asian nations to Boston, Mass., where she pimped them out to locals for commercial sex acts. Liu is just one more example of how broken our system is for assessing lawful permanent residency eligibility.
The U.S. attorney’s office for the Massachusetts district issued a July 2 press release about Liu. A federal grand jury indicted Liu for apparently being in charge of multiple brothels that relied on foreign sex trafficking. The brothels operated in the Boston neighborhoods of Brighton and Allston, per the release.
The press release referred to Liu as a “New York woman” but she still retains her Chinese citizenship, and obviously, she is in America because it allows her the ability to run a lucrative sex trafficking business. She was also receiving U.S. government-funded benefits. Hopefully the new indictment and investigation will permanently end her operation.
