"What my prosecutors felt here is that for Mr. Cai, who was exposing our victim to the human traffickers, the sex traffickers, and that's what made him qualify for pimping and pandering, said San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe. He basically turned her over to the sex traffickers, who have been trafficking her on a true human trafficking level."
"Cai brought his girlfriend to the South San Francisco Police Department on Sept. 30 to report that she had been sex trafficked, prosecutors said. Both Cai and his girlfriend reported to police that she had traveled from China and entered the United States illegally, where she had been promised she could earn money giving massages, prosecutors said. After her arrival, Cai's girlfriend met with the traffickers at Park Pointe Hotel in South San Francisco, where they confiscated her passport, prosecutors said."
Geng Cai, 37, was charged with pimping and pandering for alleged conduct between April and September and also faces possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia charges. He brought his girlfriend to the South San Francisco Police Department on Sept. 30 to report she had been sex trafficked. She reportedly traveled from China, entered the United States illegally, and was promised money for giving massages. Traffickers at the Park Pointe Hotel allegedly confiscated her passport, gave her methamphetamine, and forced her into sex work. Prosecutors allege Cai provided her to traffickers to support himself. Cai pleaded not guilty and the investigation remains ongoing.
