洛杉矶警方捣毁横跨南加多地的民宅卖淫网络 三名「管家」认罪 幕后主使仍未落网
据《洛杉矶时报》10月8日报道，洛杉矶市警察局（LAPD）历时约两年调查，捣毁了一个以San Fernando Valley为中心、盘踞南加州多地的民宅卖淫网络：据搜查令宣誓书，该网络仅在San Fernando Valley就至少有十处由普通民宅改成的妓院，其组织者还与San Gabriel Valley、Orange County和内陆帝国的性交易窝点存在关联。目前三名负责看管窝点的「管家」已认罪获缓刑，但警方认定的幕后主使至今未被逮捕，也未受到刑事指控。
这起调查始于2024年的一通求救电话。一名女子用普通话拨打911，称自己被非法拘禁在太阳谷（Sun Valley）的一处住宅内，恳求警员尽快赶到——一旦被控制她的人发现她在使用手机，她就会遭到毒打。警探马丁·平纳（Martin Pinner）在搜查令宣誓书中写道，警员赶到范诺德大道（Van Noord Avenue）一栋三居室住宅时，屋内几乎没有家具和个人物品，只有润滑剂、避孕套和行李箱。一名女子从屋中逃出，用普通话表示自己三周前才来到美国，曾被辗转送往四处住宅，每天被迫与10名男子发生性关系；屋内另外两名女子分别来自中国和罗马尼亚，否认自己被贩卖。洛杉矶市警局始终没有找到拨打911报警的那名女子。
据警方调查，这张网络由一个「呼叫中心」串联：嫖客只需发短信报上年龄、国籍和所在位置，话务员就会回复一个地址；网络旗下窝点每天上午9点营业至午夜，都设在民宅里，对外宣称「非常私密、安全」。该网络还建有网站，为每个地点列出价格「菜单」，从140美元、20分钟的「基础服务」到300美元一小时的「豪华VIP套餐」不等。多名涉案女性作证称，她们是通过微信被招募的；在该网络内部，组织者只以「Cherri」「Cherish」和「Perfect」等用户名示人。
2025年6月，警探蹲守并跟踪一辆负责收取现金的丰田Sienna面包车，先后串出北岭、北好莱坞、San Gabriel和柔似蜜的另外四处住宅。后来，警探在河滨大道（Riverside Drive）一处窝点逮捕了这名信使，他身上带着近1万美元现金，部分分装在标有妓院地址的信封里；这名信使至今未被起诉。他对《洛杉矶时报》表示，自己现年63岁，2016年离开中国青岛、来美与早先移民San Gabriel的妻子和女儿团聚，为帮女儿付大学学费而接下每月3000美元的收钱工作，自称以为收的是按摩店营业款。
已被定罪的是三名「宅内管家」。监控录像显示，38岁的Jiajia Fan负责给女子分配嫖客、收取嫖资并转交信使；法庭记录显示，他已于今年4月就共谋拉皮条的指控作不抗辩答辩，被判处两年缓刑，并被要求接受性犯罪者治疗。2025年8月，卧底警员顺线进入哈斯克尔大道（Haskell Avenue）一处住宅，带队警员当场逮捕了「管家」Jiwei Zhang；Zhang获保释后，警方得知他订了出境航班，在洛杉矶国际机场将其拦下问话，他承认管理该妓院，并称网络组织者通过微信向他在中国国内的家人支付报酬、每天折合约75美元；他同样就共谋拉皮条指控作不抗辩答辩、被判两年缓刑。数月后，警方突查雷西达雪莉大道（Shirley Avenue）一处关联窝点，其「管家」Ali Alobadi也作不抗辩答辩并获缓刑。
至于幕后主使，涉案女子的证词指向一个只以「Perfect」之名出现的女子——「她是老大，」一名女子作证说，「我们只知道她叫Perfect。」平纳警探在2025年9月提交的搜查令中写道，其中一名涉嫌组织者是经Irvine一起调查确认身份的：2024年，警方搜查了Irvine斯金纳街（Skinner Street）一处民宅妓院，查获的电话记录显示，一名叫Candy Ding的女子就是用户名「Cherish」背后的人，并负责管理警方最先发现的范诺德大街窝点；招募信使的「Darren」则是Ding的丈夫Hongshan Wang的绰号。法庭记录显示，这对夫妻在范奈斯经营的按摩店2019年曾被洛杉矶市警局调查，时任市检察官在一项民事诉讼中指控二人利用两家按摩店经营「组织严密的卖淫团伙」，法官判令二人向市政府支付16.3万美元；二人的律师当时否认指控。在本案中，Ding与Wang尚未受到刑事指控，其律师没有回应《洛杉矶时报》的置评请求。负责起诉管家案件的副地区检察官也没有回应置评请求。（GSM 据《洛杉矶时报》报道）
LAPD Busts Brothel Network Run From Homes Across Southern California; Three Managers Plead, Alleged Boss Still at Large
LOS ANGELES — After an investigation spanning roughly two years, the Los Angeles Police Department has dismantled a network of brothels operated out of suburban homes across Southern California, according to an Oct. 8 report by the Los Angeles Times. A search warrant affidavit says the network ran at least 10 houses converted into brothels in the San Fernando Valley alone, and that its organizers were linked to sex-trade sites in the San Gabriel Valley, Orange County and the Inland Empire. Three house "managers" have pleaded no contest and received probation, but the person police identify as the boss behind the network has not been arrested and faces no criminal charges.
The investigation began with a 2024 call for help. Speaking in Mandarin, a woman dialed 911 and told a dispatcher she was being held against her will in a home in Sun Valley, pleading for officers to arrive quickly — if her captors caught her using a phone, she said, she would be beaten. In a search warrant affidavit, Detective Martin Pinner wrote that the three-bedroom house on Van Noord Avenue held almost no furniture or personal belongings — only lubricant, condoms and suitcases. A woman who fled the house told officers in Mandarin that she had arrived in the United States three weeks earlier, had been moved among four houses and was forced to have sex with 10 men a day; two other women inside, from China and Romania, denied they had been trafficked. The LAPD never located the woman who made the 911 call.
Investigators say the network was tied together by a call center: clients texted their age, nationality and location, and an operator texted back an address. The brothels, all in residences, operated from 9 a.m. to midnight daily and were pitched as "very private and safe." The network also maintained a website listing a price "menu" for each location, from $140 for a 20-minute "basic service" to a $300 one-hour "deluxe VIP package." Several women testified that they were recruited through WeChat, and that within the network the organizers were known only by the usernames "Cherri," "Cherish" and "Perfect."
In June 2025, detectives followed a Toyota Sienna used to collect cash, linking four more houses in North Hills, North Hollywood, San Gabriel and Rosemead. Detectives later arrested the courier at a brothel on Riverside Drive carrying nearly $10,000 in cash, some of it in envelopes labeled with brothel addresses; he has not been charged. The courier told the Times he is 63, left Qingdao, China, in 2016 to join his wife and daughter in San Gabriel, and took the $3,000-a-month pickup job to help pay his daughter's college tuition, saying he believed he was collecting massage-parlor receipts.
Three house managers have been convicted. Surveillance video showed Jiajia Fan, 38, assigning clients to women, collecting payments and passing cash to the courier; court records show that in April of this year he pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit pandering, was sentenced to two years of probation and was ordered to undergo sex-offender treatment. In August 2025, an undercover officer was led into a house on Haskell Avenue and detectives arrested its manager, Jiwei Zhang; after Zhang was released on bail, police learned he had booked a flight out of the country and stopped him for questioning at Los Angeles International Airport, where he admitted managing the brothel and said the organizers paid his family in China about $75 a day via WeChat. He also pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit pandering and received two years of probation. Months later, police raided a linked house on Shirley Avenue in Reseda, whose manager, Ali Alobadi, likewise pleaded no contest and received probation.
As for the boss, testimony points to a woman known only as "Perfect." "She's the boss," one woman testified. "We only know her as Perfect." In a September 2025 search warrant, Detective Pinner wrote that one suspected organizer had been identified through an investigation in Irvine: in 2024, police raided a brothel in a home on Skinner Street in Irvine, and seized phone records showed that a woman named Candy Ding was the person behind the username "Cherish" and managed the Van Noord Avenue house first discovered by police; "Darren," the name given by the man who recruited the courier, is the nickname of Ding's husband, Hongshan Wang. Court records show the couple's Van Nuys massage parlor was investigated by the LAPD in 2019, and the then-city attorney accused them in a civil lawsuit of running a "highly organized prostitution ring" through two massage businesses; a judge ordered the couple to pay the city $163,000, and their attorney denied the allegations at the time. In the current brothel case, Ding and Wang have not been criminally charged, and their attorney did not respond to the Times' request for comment. The deputy district attorney prosecuting the managers' cases also did not respond to a request for comment. (GSM, based on reporting by the Los Angeles Times)
