The second criminal and the wife of the leader of the organization arranged “meetings” with potential clients, site visitors, determining the place and time of the meeting, as well as a monetary reward.
Another member of the criminal organization took care of the placement of sex slaves and kept in touch with the hotels in which they stayed. The fourth acted as a ferryman to and from sex dates and was paid by the respective client. The sixth, a hotel owner, provided “visiting rooms” to victims of sexual exploitation.
