One of the defendants in what state officials called “an organized crime sex trafficking ring operating across California” was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years and 8 months in state prison, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced.
Jing Chiang Huang was also ordered to pay $557,391 in restitution to the California Franchise Tax Board.
Bonta said the conviction was the result of investigative work by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, including the California Department of Justice, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, California Franchise Tax Board and FBI.
Charges related to sex trafficking of multiple victims, tax fraud and money laundering committed between 2015 and 2019 were first filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court against Huang and several of her co-defendants in June of 2019.
More than a dozen suspected sex trafficking victims were rescued in the process, according to a press release issued by the Attorney General’s Office said.
“As part of the operation, the defendants allegedly used Backpage.com to place advertisements and allegedly deprived individuals of their liberty in order to force them to commit sex acts at multiple brothel locations,” the release read. “The defendants also allegedly withheld at least one survivor’s passport and, as a form of coercion, threatened future job opportunities.”
Huang pleaded guilty in January of 2020 to one count of conspiracy to commit human trafficking, three counts of income tax evasion, and one count of money laundering.
“Plain and simple: Trafficking young Asian women for sex is criminal,” Bonta said in a statement. “It’s also part of a long history of objectification in this country that has been part and parcel of the anti-Asian violence we’ve seen across the United States. That’s why I’m grateful to our partners in law enforcement across California whose investigative efforts helped make this case happen.”
The California Department of Justice said it continues its case against the other defendants is ongoing, with a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 2.
How do you drum up business for that type of operation? I understand there will be plenty of customers if they can find you.
10 years. Not good enough. He should have his nut hammock surgically removed without anesthetic, then baste him in meat sauce and drop him off in the Hyena enclosure. Make sure to broadcast the event on live TV as well.
MoJo
Yes to everything you said.
I believe he is a she. But yes…10 years not nearly enough for these types of crime.

Only 10 years? This is a sex traffic ring! Who knows how many women have been victimized.
The state tax board still wants it’s cut from exploited children….. WTF? Restitution should go to victims, not the state general fund. Soooo on brand for California
+1
Completely agree
So the state of California is demanding a cut of this guys sex trafficking business? That’s not scummy or anything. Restitution should go to the victims, not the states general fund. Shame on you California Franchise Tax Board!!!
Why should he get to keep the proceeds from his crimes..
Plus you know the old saying …
……Death and taxes…
another biden, pelosi supporter will get out in a few months with time served
Asian criminals have been coercing innocent Asians into prostitution since the 1800’s, so how is this a part of the anti-Asian violence we’ve seen across the United States? Could it be that Attorney General Bonta is implying that Trump is to blame?
Don’t read Claycord(Russian Propaganda)
Jing Huang is a female. A madam. A mastermind manager of massage parlors.
Massage parlor business model: 50% to “house”, 50% to sex worker.
Street pimp/ho business model: 100% to the pimp (violent male/drug dealer). Girl has to beg for money. Pimp is the provider, may give her a little $ if she runs some drugs for him.
10 years is a joke. Lives are ruined, for LIFE. He needs a noose, a gallows, and a town square.
Is it anti-white violence when the girls are trafficked from Eastern Europe?
No, it’s only anti-anything when the girls are not white.
What a hack.
Will be out in two years – or less.
Will learn who to pay off next time.
So do you want pizza for an hour. Those in the know will know what I am talking about. The Dems like their pizza. That’s why trafficking of children continues.
