The police raided the unit along Carpenter Street and found a woman scantily clothed on top of a patron and another patron leaving.

Mo Xuekui, 44, claimed trial to three charges of procuring a woman for prostitution, managing a brothel and living on immoral earnings.

She claimed that she was just a cashier and that she had engaged her four female workers as masseuses, but they provided sexual services without her knowledge.

According to a judgment made available on Tuesday, Mo approached a man in November 2021 and asked if he was interested in buying over a beauty parlour that was profitable.

The business operated under a sole proprietorship, Huixia.
