Prostitution website shut down in HK
Print Edition
Hong Kong authorities have shut down the city’s largest prostitution website and dozens of people including sex workers have been arrested, officials said yesterday.
The website directory offered a comprehensive guide to the city’s sex trade and solicited prostitutes who often came from the Chinese mainland, they said.
Police said they had broken up a criminal syndicate believed to have controlled the website.
“When they knew there were sex workers coming to Hong Kong, the syndicate would arrange a make-up service and photographers,” police officer Au Chin-chau said.
“We discovered the syndicate provided a comprehensive service to sex workers and organized prostitution groups.”
The website sex141.com, which also has foreign editions, displayed pictures and videos to solicit clients and provided detailed information such as price and locations of brothels.
Prostitution is legal in the city, but soliciting and living off the earnings of prostitutes are criminal offenses.
During a three-day crackdown that started on Tuesday, various locations were raided, including homes and offices. So far 114 people have been arrested, including 78 prostitutes.
