    Court Case: Bayside Lotus Healing Massage & Beauty in Capalaba

    From Redlands Community News:

    Bayside Lotus Healing Massage & Beauty in Capalaba part of prostitution ring with Chinese national.

    The defence counsel for a “seemingly well-travelled’ 35-year-old Chinese national who “should have known better” told a court their client was occupied with “only a handjob, not sex” when an undercover officer busted her in the act.

    The court heard the woman, in Australia since early last year, had “fallen into a prostitution ring” that involved five venues where illegal prostitution was uncovered by police.

    Appearing at Cleveland Magistrates Court today Minglei Guan pleaded guilty to knowingly participating in the provision of prostitution and engaging in prostitution through an unlawful prostitution business.

    The court heard an undercover police officer at 9.30am on December 8 was informed “hand relief” services would be an extra $50 on top of the rate for a massage at Bayside Lotus Healing Massage & Beauty in Capalaba.

    A police prosecutor said when the officer announced himself and investigated a closed room, a naked female employee was observed “conducting hand relief, stroking his penis”.

    The venue was one among five where, the court was told, similar offending was discovered.

    The defence said Guan had lived in Ireland since 2014 before moving to Australia for a working holiday.

    Having first worked on a farm in Caboolture an injury led the Chinese national to work at a sushi store in Victoria Point before her employment was lost when COVID struck.

    With dwindling savings and “no other options or support”, the defence said their client resorted to prostitution and now faced deportation.

    The defence clarified that Guan was engaged in “only a handjob, not sex” when police struck.

    Magistrate Deborah Vasta acknowledged the woman had only been involved in the underground sex services for two months, was “obviously new to the scene”, “not a ringleader” and “down the food chain”.

    Described by the magistrate as “seemingly well-travelled”, the 35-year-old was warned she “should have known better”.

    Guan, who had no criminal history, was fined $500 with no conviction recorded.

    I think the key reason she is charged is because she has ABN

    so $500 would be a few hours of one day's tips. and not facing deportation as there was no conviction.

    this forum has probably consumed more in power hosting this thread and other other space junk.

    So he only paid $50 for a nhj?

    naked female employee was observed “conducting hand relief, stroking his penis”.

    I wonder if anyone here has seen this 35 old woman. My bet is that her work name is May.

    Spot on, stranded in a foreign country in a pandemic, no access to the dole or other government help, just doing what she had to do. Had a regular job but lost it and turned to working as a ML.

    be careful what you wish for. Well paid judges are essential to our legal system. judges are well paid so that they are not open to corruption as in many countries.

    You missed the point. I have no disagreement with judges being well paid.
