Chinese sex ring suspects freed, re-arrested
Derek Achong
The inability of the police to quickly find foreign language translators has led to the temporary release of three Chinese men suspected of child prostitution.
High Court Judge David Harris yesterday upheld the trio’s habeas corpus applications after police investigators failed to give an official explanation over delays in charging the men since they were arrested almost two weeks ago.
However, the trio, who cannot be named until they are charged, only claimed a minor victory as they were all immediately rearrested by Immigration Division officials for allegedly overstaying their time in T&T.
The move means that detectives will now have to visit the men at the Immigration Detention Centre in Aripo to charge them at the end of their investigation.
Presenting submissions on behalf of the T&T Police Service (TTPS) at the Hall of Justice in Port-of-Spain yesterday, attorney Ravi Rajcoomar sought to give an unofficial explanation for the delay. He claimed he was informed that police had difficulties in retaining translators for the numerous Chinese suspects and South American victims in the case, as they all spoke different dialects.
Rajcoomar alleged that translators, who had previously worked with police on other cases, specifically refused when asked to assist in the human trafficking investigation. He said the issue was resolved on Monday after police retained a translator used by the Judiciary. He suggested that investigators only needed 24 hours to complete their investigation and to consult with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on possible charges.
Harris did not appear convinced by the argument, as he questioned why police officers did not put his submissions into writing as required.
“There are investigations going on for 10 years, when do we draw the line?” Harris said.
He also questioned the failure of the police and other agencies to have adequate translators.
“T&T cannot hold itself to be a gateway to the world or a cosmopolitan country and does not have such services readily available,” Harris said.
During yesterday’s hearing, Rajcoomar revealed information on the immigration offences which the trio will be charged with as the human trafficking investigation continues. He claimed that while all three men entered T&T legally and were supposed to depart in November last year, Immigration Division records showed they never left.
The men were among 18 Chinese nationals who were detained on February 5 as police raided private and commercial properties in Curepe, Woodbrook and Westmoorings. During the exercise, 19 female minors from Venezuela, suspected of being forced into prostitution, were rescued. They remain in protective custody.
The T&T Guardian understands that three other suspects have filed similar habeas corpus applications challenging their protracted detentions. However, their applications are expected to become academic if they are charged before their scheduled hearing this morning.
The State was also represented by Netram Kowlessar while Subhas Panday represented the trio.
Chinese sex ring suspects freed, re-arrested
Cops finally nab sex ring mastermind
Mark Bassant
A Chinese national described by police as one of the masterminds behind a major sex and drug ring operating in Western Trinidad that was smashed more than two weeks ago was captured on Tuesday.
Intelligence sources told Guardian Media the man had been on the run ever since police raided a Westmoorings home at Western Circle on February 6, where several young girls between the ages of 15 and 19 years were rescued.
During that operation, headed by the Special Operations Response Team (SORT), Counter Trafficking Unit (CTU), Financial Intelligence Branch (FIB) and Child Protection Unit (CPU), at least 18 suspects in West and East Trinidad were arrested and 19 South American females. Young women were also rescued from another house along Morne Coco Road in Diego Martin and the Stir Fry King Restaurant along Ariapita Avenue, Woodbrook.
Sources told Guardian Media the police got information about the man’s whereabouts and were able to catch him inside a house in Westmoorings. Sources said the man had been trying to make plans to leave the country since the raid.
Intelligence sources say the suspect had leased the house on Western Drive, Westmoorings that police raided. He had entered this country with a Guyanese passport and was also in possession of a Jamaica license which Guardian Media has seen. A source familiar with the ongoing case explained that over the last few weeks they have been able to unearth detailed information about how the sex ring is being operated with the clout of the Asian mafia. Based on further information police believe the young women are smuggled in by boat after they are hand-picked by agents in Venezuela.
“This smuggling operation takes place mostly on the southern peninsula of Trinidad,” the source said.
The source revealed that most of these young women smuggled into this country have no documents and are usually lured under false pretences.
“What we have found out is that these young women are sold for US$1,500 to US$3,500 when they get here, depending on the area from where they come from in Venezuela,” the source said.
“If the young girls have a fairer complexion with green eyes, or blue eyes, or blonde hair they tend to fetch more money.”
When the girls are sold to what the intelligence source termed the underground Asian network, they are drugged and made to work as sex slaves. High-end Asian clientele pay up to TT$10,000 a night for these young girls, another intelligence source revealed in an interview with Guardian Media weeks ago. Intelligence sources say they have also zeroed in on a particular casino in South Trinidad which has been instrumental in facilitating this illegal underground trade.
“From what we understand this is the first place that the girls are carried to before they are put up for sale,” said the intelligence source.
Sources said this investigation remains a very complex one and is far-reaching in nature since they understand that the Asian mafia connection is fuelling the multi-million dollar world of sex slaves in Trinidad and Tobago.

Man charged in alleged sex-ring bust appeals bail denial
Jada Loutoo
ONE of the two Chinese men, charged in March with harbouring under-aged Venezuelan girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation, has appealed the refusal by a Master of the High Court to grant him bail.
Justices Alice Yorke Soo-Hon, Prakash Moosai and Mark Mohmmed, who heard the bail appeal on Tuesday, have reserved their decision to July 2.
Chang Boa Wang, 37, of Liaoning, China, was first denied bail when he and his co-accused Wei Liang Wu, of Guangdong Province, China, first appeared before a Port of Spain magistrate on April 1 accused of the offences which are alleged to have taken place earlier this year.
The two were arrested following a series of police raids in the Woodbrook and Westmoorings on February 5.
Wang and Wu did not form part of the initial group of 14 Chinese and five Venezuelans who were taken into custody during the raids, but were arrested at a later date as police investigations into an alleged sex trafficking ring intensified.
In all, 19 young Venezuelan girls, between the ages of 15 and 19, were rescued from a house at Western Circle, Westmoorings.
Wang and Wu were jointly charged with harbouring two girls for the purpose of prostitution and Wang, police said, was a former military commander in China.
Both men applied to a Master sitting in the criminal jurisdiction of the court for bail but were denied.
Only Wang appealed.
