Thousands of Thai prostitutes being rounded up in America


Wilaiwan Phimkhalee is charged with running a brothel that employed Thai prostitutes in forced labor. She allegedly entered a sham marriage with a prostitution customer to obtain legal immigration status in the United States

Chicago customers of a Thai prostitution ring became key players in the nationwide operation — renting out apartments for the women, shuttling them from airports and even entering into a sham marriage with a brothel boss in order for her to work legally in the United States, authorities say.

“This is a unique twist I haven’t really seen before,” Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.

A federal indictment unsealed Thursday charged 21 people across the country — including six in the Chicago area — with being involved in sex trafficking. A related indictment in October charged 17 others.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office worked with the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations agents to shut down Thai brothels in the Chicago area and arrest six people authorities identified as participants.

Those charged include: Matthew Mintz, 25, Wilaiwan Phimkhalee, 38, Kanyarat Chaiwirat, 50, and Thoucharin Ruttanamongkongul, 34, all of Chicago; Mohit Tandon, 37, of Burr Ridge; and Richard Alexander, 52, of DeKalb.

The new indictment, unsealed in Minnesota, says sex traffickers in Thailand arranged for thousands of Thai women to travel from Bangkok to Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta and other cities to engage in prostitution.

The traffickers painted a rosy picture of the United States when they recruited the women, according to the indictment.

Mohit Tandon, 37, of Burr Ridge, is charged with being a “facilitator” in an international prostitution ring

But the women were forced to pay leaders of the ring for debts supposedly associated with their travel and housing — making them sex slaves, the indictment says. Their debts ranged from $40,000 to $60,000.

Many of them were required to undergo cosmetic enhancements such as breast enlargement before they traveled to the United States, officials said.

Phimkhalee, Chaiwirat and Ruttanamongkongul allegedly acted as “mamasans,” running brothels in the Chicago area. Phimkhalee also is described in the indictment as being a sex trafficker.

What a douche bag.

It doesn't say anything in the article about thousands being rounded up nor does it say it anywhere in the original article. The misleading headline and lack of a link to the original article would make me suspect snakeeyes is back to his old thieving ways if it wasn't for the fact that the creator of Bangkok Jack's headlines appears to be literate.

Yeah. Typical Snakeeyes. Steal the story, stick it on another website, change the headline, remove the link to the original story. At least he hasn't added "by Danny Boy" to this one.

Maybe the Teakdoor owner will be able to pimp them out when they get back to Thailand.

That doesn't mean it should be replaced by a totally fictitious headline.

"Chicago customers (johns) of a Thai prostitution ring became key players in the nationwide operation — renting out apartments for the women, shuttling them from airports and even entering into a sham marriage with a brothel boss in order for her to work legally in the United States, authorities say."

Headline is right on the money.

And westerners doing likewise to their own kind in the East would be nothing new either.

US citizen living in Thailand sponsors them and gets a visa at US embassy. Easy enough if all the paperwork boxes are checked.
