Vice racket man jailed for five years Posted on » Friday, July 26, 2013
A MAN who ran a prostitution racket operating from a Manama hotel has been jailed for five years.
Fifteen women - five Chinese, five Thai and five Ethiopians - who accepted BD15 to BD30 in exchange for sex were also jailed for four months yesterday.
Three Bangladeshi cleaners have also been found guilty of encouraging prostitution and sentenced to two years in jail.
According to Lower Criminal Court d0cuments, police swooped on the hotel based on a tip-off that it was being used as a vice den.
Plainclothes officers first entered the hotel with cash and asked if there were prostitutes available before police arrived.
The defendants are going to lodge an appal against their convictions at the High Criminal Appeals Court.
Some of the suspects have admitted to living in Bahrain illegally without a visa, while others told the judge they did have the correct paperwork.
However, some of the women have also been convicted of running away from their employers.
