SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) — A married couple has been charged with human trafficking and operating at least six brothels in Santa Clara County.

The victims told authorities that they would service 10-15 men per day. They found the brothels online and paid Hu through Venmo and PayPal, according to the DA. The victims said they often were locked in the brothels and their passports were taken from them. The women also had to pay for their own food and daily necessities.

The suspects will be arraigned Friday. Davies and Hu are charged with felony human trafficking, pimping and pandering, and money laundering.
