A brothel keeper who arranged for women to be trafficked around the UK as prostitutes has been jailed -after being snared by text messages advertising his services. Jie Ke Wang, 48, earned £500-a-week operating a "callout service" - where clients would request a woman be sent to their address for sex work.
A court heard other girls were "rotated" around the country in order to keep a "fresh" supply for clients. Undercover officers discovered Wang managing a brothel at his home in Masshouse Plaza, in Birmingham city centre, when they raided the swanky apartment block.
Further investigations of his mobile phones following the arrest revealed his involvement in trafficking a dozen women all around the UK. Wang would haggle with customers on prices as he played a "managerial" role in deciding where they would go to work in the country.
