9x leads prostitution ring labeled as 'student'

On June 6, the Investigation Police Agency of Dong Da District, Hanoi issued an emergency arrest warrant for Vu Thi Thanh (23 years old), residing in Trieu Son District, Thanh Hoa to investigate and clarify the act of prostitution brokerage.

The case file shows that, through reconnaissance work, in early June 2017, the Dong Da District Police Department's Criminal Police Team discovered prostitution brokerage activities via the internet of a female student named T.

After a period of investigation, the CSHS detectives discovered that the female student T. was Vu Thi Thanh, from Trieu Son, Thanh Hoa, currently renting a room in Lang Ha ward, Dong Da district.

Subject Vu Thi Thanh.

With her natural beauty, Thanh disguised herself as a university student in Hanoi. She often posted on Facebook that she always had beautiful girls who were university and college students, ready to "please" customers from A to Z for 3 million VND/time of "fast-track" prostitution, and the price for an overnight stay was 10 million VND. Anyone who wanted to buy sex could contact Thanh's phone number posted online.

At around 11am on June 3, detectives made a surprise administrative inspection of a motel business on Nguyen Hong Street, Dong Da District, and discovered a couple engaging in prostitution. The prostitute was identified as Mai (18 years old), currently an employee at a relaxing hair salon in Dong Anh District, Hanoi.

In a heated fight, Mai and the sex buyer, Huong (29 years old) in Soc Son district, Hanoi, confessed that they often bought and sold sex through Thanh. Immediately, the detective team also arrested Thanh who was sitting in a coffee shop on Nguyen Hong street, waiting for Mai to finish selling sex so they could go home together.

During the investigation, Dong Da District Police learned that Huong often went online and knew Vu Thi Thanh. When he saw Thanh advertising that she had a source of beautiful female students, he was "curious" and wanted to find out more.

On the morning of June 3, Huong contacted Thanh via mobile phone and requested a beautiful young female student to serve him and his friend at a “fast train” price. Before agreeing to the price for sex, Huong also asked Thanh to provide him with a photo of the girl’s face and he immediately agreed.

Thanh immediately called Mai to go to a coffee shop on Nguyen Hong street to meet customers and received a total of 7 million VND from Huong, including 6 million VND for 2 times of prostitution and 1 million VND for brokerage fee.

However, Huong did not expect that Thanh had tricked her, because Mai was not a student but worked as a hair washer at a relaxing hair salon in the suburbs of Hanoi.
