And now for some local news.
Liquing Liu, a Chinese national, started a sex ring here in Minnesota. He would move around to avoid detection with his 100 Asian women.
These women were illegal immigrants and are being treated as crime victims not criminals, according to Sgt. Grant Snyder of the Minneapolis Police Department. The women were probably lured under the prospect of having a better life in America.
However, once here they were confined to the place of business and had to give most of their earnings to Liu.
This reminds me of the Korean comfort women issue during World War II. These women were often forced to become sex workers because of Japan's occupation in Korea. They, like these recent prostitutes, were usually paid nothing while having to endure squalid work conditions.
I just can't believe that this man, who probably knew poverty first hand, would deliberately deceive others in a similar situation.
I wish the article would have gotten a quote from him as to why he did it just so people could see how twisted his ethics are.

i am proud of you. That is very smart. Your blog is very informative. Keep it up.
This is atrocious! The victimization of women in sex acts is terrible, but all too prevalent. People are not property. This man has some twisted thinking going on in his mind. Thank goodness he was busted.
