"The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office has charged members of a San Jose family with running a network of brothels in Santa Clara County that were trafficking dozens of women and bringing in about a million dollars per year. Multiple co-defendants are facing felonies involving their operation of a network of at least 10 commercial sex brothels in Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Jose, Cupertino and Mountain View, according to an announcement today by the District Attorney's Office."
"The Bresees and their co-conspirators are charged with 26 felonies including criminal conspiracy, pimping, money laundering and tax fraud. At the arraignment on Dec. 5,, Judge Hector Ramon set bail for Binghua Bresee, 52, Joseph Bresee, 77, and Binghua's son, Jiabao Huang, 30, at $1 million each. An additional co-conspirator was arrested under suspicion of running money for one of the brothels. All of the defendants face prison time, if convicted."
"An additional co-conspirator was arrested under suspicion of running money for one of the brothels. All of the defendants face prison time, if convicted. "The trafficking of human beings has no place in our community, or any other," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement.. "Modern slavery is morally and legally wrong and will be met with no toleration and - as you can see by the agencies cooperating in this operation - the strictest legal accountability.""
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office charged members of a San Jose family with operating a network of at least 10 commercial sex brothels across Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Jose, Cupertino and Mountain View. Investigators say the brothels trafficked dozens of women and generated about $1 million annually. Law enforcement arrested Joseph and Binghua Bresee and one adult child, seized or froze over $1.25 million in alleged illegal profits, and arrested an additional co-conspirator suspected of moving money. The defendants face 26 felony counts including criminal conspiracy, pimping, money laundering and tax fraud, and face potential prison time if convicted. The multi-agency probe, nicknamed Operation Family Ties, included DA investigators, the FBI and local police. The probe began after a suspicious massage parlor application in June 2025.
