Judge Issues $1 Billion Bond In Brothel Bust Case

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A judge issued a $1 billion bond on Thursday for a woman accused of helping run two massage parlors that police said were fronts for prostitution, NBC 4 reported.

The judge issued the bond at the arraignment of 55-year-old Kim Freeman


A three-month joint investigation between Columbus police and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office culminated Wednesday with the execution of 10 search warrants on cars and buildings, including simultaneous raids on the Oasis Health Spa on Indianola Avenue and the Jade Clinic on East Dublin-Granville Road. Officials confiscated approximately $750,000.

"That's money that's going into the seizure fund, to benefit the city of Columbus," said Sherry Mercurio, of the Columbus Police Department. "The county will get some, the prosecutor will get some and CPD will get some to use for equipment, technology."

Despite the high bond for Freeman, investigators said they believe a woman identified as Chae Sun Leonard actually ran the business.

Leonard and two other women are expected in court on Friday.

It's Real :Judge set bond for alleged prostitute at $1 billion

yamaha said:
that has to be a mistake come on a f**king billion dollars do even call bail bonds he will laugh at you and hang up.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A Columbus judge made sure a woman accused of running two brothels won't be bailed out of jail. He set bond at $1 billion.

Michael Jackson's $3 million bond pales by comparison.

And Kim Freeman is hardly a high-profile figure. Police say she isn't even the top person at the two massage parlors raided Wednesday night.

But assistant prosecutor Greg Peterson said it was feared she would flee if she could post bail, because Freeman and three others accused of being involved in the brothels are from Asia and have extensive connections throughout the United States.

So prosecutors asked Municipal Judge Scott VanDerKarr for a high bond and he chose $1 billion.

To get Freeman out of jail, a bail bondsman or deep-pocketed friend would have to post ten percent of the amount, or $100 million.

The other three women have bond hearings this morning.

Deep Pocketsan Mamasan:

Well: The other Mama found with a 1/2 million stashed in her home, and another 170,000 in a office. Has now flown the coop. Lawmakers make less & less sense, about the cases they draw up.

The judge posts a Billion dollar bail on one Mamasan, and $1.98 on another. She had 670,000 that they know about.Gets busted in another state.Time for a nap, while she shimmy's back to homeland.

The U.S. laws must have been drawn up by the same makers of "Pee Wee's Playhouse" and circle jerk together just like he did when they enforce them.
