Prostitution Ring Catering to Rich and Famous Busted
Earlier last week, the Hong Kong police successfully broke up a prostitution ring and made 54 arrests, including the ringleader who is labeled by the media as the new Hong Kong Madam. The prostitution ring served elite customers, including powerful tycoons and even male actors in Hong Kong.
In May, the Kowloon West Regional Crime Unit received information from an informer that a prostitution syndicate was “importing” high-class prostitutes from China for various venues. According to the police, the ring was extremely well organized, and was run by a madam with the nickname Rainbow and a surname of Cheung. Many of the girls involved had short-term visas to travel between Hong Kong and China, and they all stayed in a “dormitory” like apartment in the Tsim Sha Tsui district.
The police cracked the case in a Hong Kong gangster movie-like fashion. Three months ago, the police successfully placed an undercover agent into the prostitution ring. He quickly managed to gain the trust of Rainbow. With the intelligence obtained by the undercover agent, the police soon figured out how the organization worked and set the trap for Rainbow and her partners in crime.
Madam with Entrepreneurial Spirit
It was reported that 37 year-old Rainbow is married with a daughter, and has hands-on prostitution experience and the necessary connections in the sex industry. Sensing a need for an upscale market, the former prostitute decided to become an entrepreneur. With the help of her sidekicks, assistants, and business partners, Rainbow took on the job of a recruiter. Due to the short visas of her workers, she constantly updated her portfolio with new recruits, and made sure she has at least 60 to 70 girls on hand for selection. All the girls lived in a dormitory-like setting apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui. At the peak of business, there were over 30 of them packed into one apartment.
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous
Rainbow realized that privacy is one of the major concerns of her high-end clients such as tycoons and male celebrities, so her organization provided sex party services for hire at secret locations.
The cost per girl is $4,000 HKD a day (gratuity not included). Once the customer placed the “order”, the prostitutes will leave the dormitory and are picked up by the customers. Usually half a dozen of girls will be involved at a time, but there was a case where over 20 girls were hired by a tycoon for a sex party. Most of these parties took place at private clubhouses, private yachts, and luxury mansions. Due to the star-like qualities of the girls, and their oath to secrecy, business performed extremely well.
The ring also supplied girls to several night clubs as “night club workers”, and excess “inventories” were loaned out to other business partners for “one-woman brothels” type setups in the New Territories district of Yuen Long. The daily rental fee per girl ranged from $1,500 to $3,000 HKD. After expenses, it was reported the net revenue of Rainbow’s business approached $7 million HKD.
With enough information in hand, over a 100 officers from different branches of the Hong Kong Police simultaneously busted the prostitution ring in multiple locations, arresting 54 people, 48 of them prostitutes. The 37 year-old madam, Rainbow, was among the arrested.
The Hong Kong Police believe they have successfully eliminated one of the most active prostitution rings to-date.

Oh yay, another scandal. Can’t wait to be guessing the celebrities involved based on vague descriptions.
Miriamfanz,
Don’t think the police will be able to make Rainbow reveal her list of elite clients and which male actors had paid for services.
I’m sure the creative media types will come up with something. Probably involving a certain “Mr. Y” of the “E–” group.
I’m guessing that might depend on whether Rainbow kept records (electronic or otherwise) of her business transactions and if these were seized by the police during the operation.
WOOO can,t wait to see who,s this Rainbow Madam is ,But story like this its pretty basic it happen to every country ….
i wont be surprised by any mean at all if Bosco, Ron, RLam, King Kong & sammo Hong’s son and 99% of all male celebrities are Rainbow’s “regular” elite clients of these high-end prostitutes.
Why would famous and handsome siu sang’s need to hire prostitutes when they can get the girls for free? I worry more that the poor ones had to be gigolos when they first entered the industry.
Josie, an astonishing percentage of men frequent prostitutes so I wouldn’t be surprised if those handsome siu sangs were included. I don’t know why they do it though…
Is prostitution very much in the open in Hong Kong? This is the impression I have based on watching HK dramas, in which prostitutes work during the day and night, pulling random male customers off the street.
Not to mention other establishments such as massage parlors and bath houses.
A friend mine was in MongKok waiting for his wife. He sat in his car (a very nice/expensive one). He was approached by a prostitute.
I guess prostitution is indeed quite in the open. I visited HK for the first time a few years back. I was quite shocked to see all these signs on the streets labeling that they offer sexual services. There are “parlors” located just between normal stores and restaurants. Most of these places were in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei. It’s definitely not appropriate for kids to see…
Jayne,
That’s what I was thinking too but since I have not been there, not sure.. I should ask my sister in law because she is from there and has been there many many times…
@Jayne
Not sure on how the prostitution works in HK but I guess it’s much difference as compare to Msia here, many who works in the massage parlours and etc offers More than just massage! they even give more than requested.
While those prostitutes which you seen on TV who used to pull customers and invite them to do business are usually those who’re are old and rather no so pretty ones..and normally only old uncles will go for them.
I have seen some star like prostitute who only caters those really rich ppl and they’re really pretty and most of them are driving expensive cars..
I guess it’s not much different compare to msia here****
Also, i’d like add that those star like Prostitutes have mostly enhanced themselves by Plastic Surgeries so they can ask for better price.
Veejay,
TV dramas regularly portray prostitutes inviting customers even in broad daylight.
When I visited HK, I stayed away from Mongkok area, and among the areas I visited, I did not see any prostitution establishments. There was an overcrowding of signs and I didn’t look up any steep staircases to see what was there though.
The massage parlors are also common here. Even hair salons, who offer neck massages in private rooms, are suspicious. Many have posed as nail salons during the day and more shady businesses at night.
Selena and Eunice,
Thanks for your anecdotes of HK while you were there. I didn’t notice any shady activities while vacationing there and only have good memories of the beautiful Stanley beach area and Victoria Peak.
Jayne, why didn’t you go to Mongkok on your visit to Hong Kong? I think it’s a good way to experience Hong Kong life. A lot of teenagers and young people hang out there at night. The street food there is really good too.
Very common since Hong Kong is near mainland easy pisy to supply these gals ; man wants sex these gals want money good deal…
The girls could be sex trafficked victims. We still have sex traffickers in the States, so I won’t be surprised if there’s some in HK.
A lot of people overlooked that these girls might be victims of sex trafficking. If that is the case I hope they get the help they need & not be treated as criminals.
went to hongkong, was walking alone near jordan, a man kept following me, quickly walked into a building, could see he was still looking for me out in the streets through the tinted glass doors
Not much of a scandal. It will be a scandal is the girls supplied is from the entertainment world.
A friend of mine from Macau told me there is rumor/open secret that one of the casino do provide starlets for their VIP clients…who knows?!?
Even in Txb’s circle, there are many actresses who are willing to sleep with directors inorder to get a heavy role.
Many HKers speculated that the top EEG female singer now provide *** service to the top boss to get promoted. A hearsay but who knows?
Rumor from a few years ago — Joey and her mom serviced Albert whatever of EEG.
Her mom too?! That mr. Yeung is one sick bastard.
An undercover agent? Very much like a TVB series, lol
Maybe TVB will film a series based on this story!
If they do,they have to be careful about it…
Who is the Director? ET???
I’m surprised this Rainbow girl has a big part in it would she want her daughter to sleep with customers for money?
Maybe she won’t mind since she herself did it before.
If there was no demand…
does anyone know who is this rainbow? why doesn’t jaynestar reveal the true identity of that person?
kelly chen ?
Why is this considered enterntainment news if no celebrity has been even named to be connected?
Prostitution is common basically everywhere in Asia…=/
Prostitution was one of the oldest professions even before taxes. If there is a desire, there’s a market. Oh yes, prostitution is world-wide and not just confined to Asia.
i know and agree. so many cases everywhere in the world that some might be forced and of course some are just going for the money.
And yet the HK Police cannot solve the abuse substance case involving the HK Celebrities which cause ET to draw headlines in HK.
Maybe they got more important cases like murders and rape cases to solve, hk police is one of the best , if not the best police force in the world. Def. One of the least corrupt, unlike fat white american cops who only can write parking tickets
Once again Mr.Chow, I wonder why you are still allow to post your racist, bias and disgusting posts here??? You really need to stop it!!!
Let him vent… his wife left him for a fat white american.
Those rich and powerful actors mights be under.ET’s protection. Maybe old pervs who has poor clueless pretend to be blind wife and kids.
I remembered about a Korean supporting actress who suicide because she was forced to sleep with the ‘bosses’ in order for her career to advance.
I wonder how many of the other cute looking kpop girls sleep with bosses to get fame. Same goes to HK starlets who wants big promotion fasr.
Rain Li was asked to sleep with businessmen and refused. Whoever was under Rain’s old company most likely have already serviced those businessmen.
I’m aware of the seriousness of this issue but I just can’t help laughing at this line: “The police cracked the case in a Hong Kong gangster movie-like fashion.”
LOL
We will never know who are the rich and famous clients.
They are rich enough to make sure their political stooge do take the necessary steps to keep the client lists sealed.
That depends on how rich they are…and the not so rich might be use as scapegoat…we’ll see.
rainbow should be jailed for 25 years?
Many rich circles have their elite call girls. Even though those guys could have many girls throw themselves at the guys. Those guys need discretion and privacy. They want no strings attached sex. I don’t see no problem unless the girls are underage or forced into prostitution.
Michelle Reis and Callie Kwon act like their prostitution is righteous.
