By Wellington is a up scale community about fifteen minutes from where I live.
The owner of a West Palm Beach spa who sexually exploited two Korean women by allowing them to prostitute themselves pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens for commercial advantage and money laundering, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported Friday.
Hannah Eun Sung Chong, a U.S. citizen from Wellington, was harboring the two women at her Coral Spa, at 4730 Okeechobee Blvd., and was arrested in September.
Chong received up to $70,000 in payment from work and activities performed by Myeong Ja Kim-Kim, 50, and Myoung Joo Kim, 44. The activities occurred between Jan. 1, 2006, and Sept. 30, 2008. Both women also resided at the spa, according to court documents.
Chong faces a maximum sentence on both counts of 30 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $750,000, to be followed by six years supervised release.-Sun-Sentinel
No word if the women came to the United States in wheelchairs.

50 and 44 years old? Were their customers American harabojis?

West Palm Beach…well, that explains the clientele. Looks like some retirees are economizing during the recession.

If we have a law that says it’s a woman’s right to choose what to do with her own body, why is prostitution still illegal? We should legalize and regulate this activity as we do any other business – which would help avoid situations like this.

Songagi, #2 lol! If I was going to pay for some pogee it sure as heck wouldn’t be with a 50 or 44 year old woman. I hope the girls working for these women were considerably younger, preferably in the 18-21 year old range.
