Miss South Mekong 2009 Vo Thi My Xuan has admitted to procuring beauties, hot girls, and actresses for well-off clients doing business with her sex ring, police sources have said. Xuan said a beauty queen in Ben Tre Mekong Delta Province, a model purportedly working for a famous fashion company in Ho Chi Minh City, and an attractive young woman known for sexy photos are members of her ring. In related news two other pimp suspects, including an actress who starred in a Golden Kite nominated film, have been also summoned for questioning. A source said that on June 4 police in Ho Chi Minh City detained Le Quang Tuan Anh, 27, a make-up artist, for his involvement in the high-class prostitution ring run by Miss My Xuan. Tuan Anh is said to maintain a good relationship with a number of beauties and models in Vietnamese showbiz. Tuan Anh took 60 percent of the profits earned by the prostitutes. Another suspected pimp is a 26-year-old model-cum-actress who lives in Binh Thanh district. She won second place in a beauty contest and starred in the action movie "Lenh Xoa So”, one of 12 nominees for the Golden Kite 2011. However she was released on bail due to her late-term pregnancy. The actress is thought to have lured My Xuan to sell herself for the first time. In a recent time, the actress offered My Xuan a "US$2,500 deal” with a man in Vung Tau city in which she took $1,000 as a fee for a broker. Miss My Xuan also confessed to organizing a prostitution ring at her private house in Binh Khanh Ward in District 2. The ring also provided sex workers to rich men going abroad for holidays or business at a fee ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 for a two or three day trip. Around 20 people have been summoned for their involvement in the high-class ring, police said. Investigators said that at 5:00pm on June 2, the Police Department of Criminal Investigation in Social Order (C45) in Ho Chi Minh City carried out a surprise raid on a big hotel in District 1 and caught four high-class prostitutes engaging in sexual acts with clients. Most of them are models and actresses. Miss Vo Thi My Xuan and 40-year-old Tran Quang Mai, two pimps of the ring, were later arrested for their involvement.

The four men who were caught having sex with high-class prostitutes at two hotels in District 1 on June 2 are not well-known in business circles, according to Phap Luat Ho Chi Minh City Newspaper. They run small-sized real estate companies in a rural district, the newspaper said. The clients are identified as T.V.T., 52, D.V.M., NVN, 52, and TTH, all hailing from Binh Chanh district. In addition to these four, investigators also revealed the names of some ‘real’ rich men who are familiar clients of the sex ring. Among them are K., a media tycoon, and C., a real estate tycoon. Long-legged girls: a gift for business relations In related news, police in Ho Chi Minh City continue to hold Miss Vo Thi My Xuan and three other pimps who have been accused of running a high-class prostitution ring of beauties, models, and actresses. They told investigators that the ring was initially found by Tran Quang Mai, a female barber and bar waitress in downtown HCMC, and Le Quang Tuan Anh, a make-up artist. Mai knew many rich men who consider long-legged prostitutes a hobby or a gift for their business partners. Thus, Mai tried to hunt down beautiful ‘prey’ and in the process she met Tuan Anh, who maintains a good relationship with a wide circle of beauties and models in local showbiz. Their business relations began then. According to the investigators, before their arrest, Mai and Anh had provided long-legged girls to clients nationwide and provided sex tours abroad. In May, 2012, Tuan Anh procured My Xuan for a client. They had sex at Xuan’s rented house in District 2. Mai, the main broker, paid Anh $100 and VND1 million, and paid Xuan $1,000 for the deal. On June 2, My Xuan provided L.T.Y.D, a runner-up in a beauty contest, and N.T.M.N, a model, to clients at a price of $1,500 per person in which she took $500 each deal. On the same day, Mai and Nguyen Huu Dat, a male driver for an event organizing company in the city, and an unidentified person, procured L.T.T.H, a "Internet famous” young girl and a student for clients at $2,500 and VND5 million ($250) per appointment respectively. The prostitutes were caught in the act after police raided two hotels in the city downtown. Investigators said they are probing into an overseas sex tour charging tens of thousands of dollars per trip that involves two "famed” characters in the local entertainment industry.
