Tien told his wife, Huynh Thi Trang, 31, to send three girls to serve these “customers.”

After singing, the whoremasters and the three girls went to Mai Van Hotel to have sex for VND800,000 ($40)/girl. They were caught by police at the hotel.

The whoremasters claimed that they usually went to the Faifo karaoke bar on Hai Phong Road, Thanh Khe District, which is ran by spouses Tien - Trang.

If customers needed girls to serve them when they eat, drink or sing karaoke, Tien - Trang would send some girls to serve them and collected VND200,000 ($10) from each customer.

If these girls agreed to go to hotels with customers, they had to tell Tien – Trang and pay the couple 10 percent on the amount of money they were paid by their clients.

Checking Faifo karaoke bar, police discovered Duong Duy Tien together with many prostitutes waiting for phone calls from whoremasters.

Tien-Trang confessed that they “recruited” girls from across the country to serve whoremongers. To hide from police’s detection, the couple rented a karaoke room at Faifo karaoke bar to do their transactions with customers and provide prostitutes.
