A Sydney mother who forced 11 Thai women to work as prostitutes to help pay off her mortgage has been jailed for at least 13 months.
In March the 48-year-old pleaded guilty to bringing 11 women to Australia from Thailand for the purpose of sexual servitude between August 2005 and April 2008.
…
The NSW District Court heard the women were forced to work off a debt they owed the woman for bringing them to Australia. She sent them to brothels in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Adelaide and Perth.

During her sentencing submissions yesterday, the woman said she used the money from the prostitutes to support her teenage daughter and pay the mortgage on a unit she brought at Lakemba in Sydney’s south-west in 1994.
