Jung Park, a Korean national, is brought to an immigration hearing in Vancouver. Seven Korean women were ordered to leave Canada as soon as possible and not to return for at least a year.

Seven Korean woman were ordered home Monday following a raid by Vancouver police of what immigration officers described in documents as a "residential massage parlour with heavy traffic."

The women were arrested Aug. 5 after members of the police vice unit and immigration officers went to a house in the 1400 block of West 53rd Avenue in Vancouver.

The women were subsequently taken to the immigration department's B.C. Holding Centre at Vancouver International Airport, where they were held until a series of immigration hearings Monday ordered their removal from Canada.

They were all released pending the posting of security bonds, and told to leave Canada as soon as possible and not return for at least one year.

The women are identified as Jung Park, Hwa Yong Choi, Yun Hya Kim, Gi Young Nam, Ji Hee Nam, Min Kyong Kim and Su Wong Cho.

Police refused to comment on the case, saying it was still under investigation, but documents obtained from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIS) say the house in question had been identified by the vice unit as "a residential massage parlour with heavy traffic."

Among the crimes the vice unit investigates are those involving sexual exploitation, including prostitution and the running of bawdy houses.

According to a written statement by CIS agent Ward Hindson, when he and police went to the address last Thursday, "two Asian males and seven Asian females attempted to flee from the residence through the various exits. Six females climbed out of a basement window and attempted to hide in the bushes. One of the females . . . was discovered under a vehicle in the garage of the residence."

On Monday, the women, all in their early 20s and all Korean nationals, were led one by one in handcuffs to a series of hearings by the Immigration and Refugee Board to determine their future.

The women's lawyer, Robert Champoux, said none of the women contested the findings of immigration officers and agreed to leave the country on order by the board.

All the women were charged under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act with working without authorization in Canada. The women were said to have been employed at a "massage parlour" where they received $100 in cash for each 45-minute "full-body massage" given.

Two of the women were sisters and one of them was married with a young child in Korea.

The men arrested with them, identified in CIS documents only as "Mr. Chen and Mr. Ong," were both Canadian citizens.

The hearing was told that the women, some of whom were said to be university educated, arrived in Canada as sightseers, but saw an advertisement in a local Korean newspaper looking for women to perform massages at a private house. Canada does not require Korean visitors to carry visas, only return tickets.

Hindson's statement said Chen worked at the residence as a doorman, and that the residence had been open for business since March. Chen told Hindson that customers paid him $180 for each massage.

He said he did not know who hired the women.

The house in which the business was operated -- a well-kept, one-level rancher at 53rd and Granville that had two security cameras monitoring the main doors -- is owned by Frankie and Angela Man of Vancouver.

Finally. Now these girls can go back to living normal lives.

So this is how it all ends, a sad day for pooners everywhere.
Seoul had so many moves over the last year and a half, including a spectacular bust back at the end of last summer at their Marine Drive location, coming after yet another endless debate and lurker demands (1 post newbies) about posting their number publicly.
But it was to be expected, with the way Seoul's phone number was posted publicly all over eforum.xxx, just so our 7000 lurkers can see it.
I never thought there was anything wrong with posting their number on a closed 50 person, or a closed 500 person board, but with 7000 lurkers out there...
A sad day indeed.

This is the reason why I would never visit micros or massage parlors, only indy. I for one do not want the possibility of getting busted by LE.

 

[mary G]

I hope they treat those poor women nicely, and I hope they don't penalize them from coming or immigrating to Canada in the future. As for the guys who hired them to work.... aren't they stupid.

 

[lil_pink_elephant15]

eforum.xxx killed Seoul. The micro business was supposed to be discrete. Out of those countless lurkers, I bet a few were law enforcers posing as pooners. Sad day indeed.

 

[thehomeschooledchild]

Who said they are done? What makes this bust different from the last couple of busts?
Pinky may just round up another bunch of girls in a few months and start again. You never know.

Is it any wonder that Yoyo's closed up shop and moved a few days after someone posted their number here?

 

[uwaiu]

HOLY FUCK...
no wonder they don't let white guys in ....

 

[Eh-Lee]

Deke and Soreback made a good point - eforum.xxx was a victim of its own success. It would be naive to think that LE doesn't cruize this board.

 

[caydelay]

I miss those girls, I have a good time there.

Suggestions
Please do NOT post the micro number on the web.
For private massage, please provide only the phone number massage review and as little info as possible from now on.

I hope all the others micros are maintained well.

 

[Pompal 09.]

and also for someone who just want to start the thread draws attention(info,address,detail)PLEASE!!!if you guys want fuck them up,please post as much as you can!!otherwise,please give them fucking break!!

 

[Pompal 09.]

i agree.


it seems a bit suspicious to me that i see so many threads solely started just to ask for contact info and etc.

could it be LE?

 

[Gareth]

I agree with snowboard. we have to take extra precaution from now on. Please do not post #'s and addresses on the board.

 

[the rick]

could be LE,sick jerks,jealous SP,competitors out there,post all the info in public,worth it??you guys go figure..

 

[Michael N]

Yes totally agree with most of you here. We need to help keep the micro alive. I need them to keep me focus on work, get away from gf's sick attritude, or those gold digging girls in clubs.

So... please review only the juicy part but do not review the setup, or details (like video camera) or so from now on. As long as eforum.xxx help each other not taking ugly bad services sp, it is good enough. We dont' want to be a tools of the LE.

The LE should go f up those expensive downtown MP .. not our small consumer brotherhood micro clubs.

Re:Expensive d.t. mp's


These are LE's main concerns in legit mp's: underaged girls, drug use
on the premise, girls with criminal records, girls working illegally in Canada
and bringing unwanted attention to the neighbours (i.e. discarded used
condoms in public view, girls not properly dressed when going out for a
smoke, etc). Remove all of the above and LE pretty much leave these
mp's alone. Believe me LE are aware of the activities going on in all these
high end d.t. mp's. Clients going into Swedish Touch, Madame Cleos will
NEVER have to worry about a bust. No, I am not shilling for them. It's just
a fact.

Of course in Seoul's case, it's different. It is just not possible to have a
high traffic area in a residential neighborhood. I'm sure their neighbors
were aware of some sketchy activities going on in that house. Also the
girls were working illegally in Canada. If the situation was reversed,
young Canadian girls working in Korea without work permits, I'm sure
their LE will do the same.

 

[Alaa]

Second that.

 

[Ashley Anxiety.]

I also agree with your view and that of Asian Loverboy.

I doubt that posting their Tel# is the reason they get busted. After all they can find it in the newspapers since they advertise.

Lets not get paranoid or think of this board as beig responsible for actions taken by LE. The easons are more to do with young girls and illegals.

This whole micro debate is quite funny to me. Really do you think that the only reason that LE caught on to Seoul is because of this forum? I think not.

eforum.xxx is not the reason of any of those busts but eforum.xxx is a mean of getting information about those Micros and AMP, thus, encourage LE to take action (or faster action).

 

[R2 Ranch]

eforum.xxx is not the reason Seoul got busted. Neither are the info about their address and phone number that has been posted. Do you guys think Le are stupid. I mean all they have to do is read the Sing Tao paper. Phone numbers all over the place, and besides LE can get a nick on eforum.xxx and PM people for contacts so I think it won't make a difference wheather we post phone numbers or not. Just happens that Seoul has too many girls, who are supossedly tourists and who are not allowed to work. I think if there was maybe only 2 or 3 girls there I don't think they would have come down on them but since there seems to be 8 or 9 it was worth LE's wild to go in and bust them. This is evident cause I dont think any of the really smaller AMP got busted, even though info is out there.
