Superior Court judge David Wiseman yesterday ordered the deportation of another Chinese worker who frequented the vicinity of the DFS Galleria in Garapan at night for alleged prostitution activities.
Wiseman said the government presented sufficient evidence to establish that the woman was engaged in prostitution activities, dismissing her claim that she simply solicited business for her employer, Oasis massage parlor.
The judge said the woman violated her nonresident worker’s entry permit that allowed her to work as masseuse, when she engaged in prostitution activities. The permit expired last Jan. 29.
Immigration enforcement officers began to observe the woman in October last year, contending that the woman was engaged in promoting prostitution, according to Wiseman.
“[She] walked with the males to the Joy Hotel or, if [she] did not accompany the males, other women joined [her] and the males at the DFS Galleria and accompanied the males to the Joy Hotel after speaking with [her],” the judge said. “The Joy Hotel is a known place for prostitution.”
Wiseman noted that the government could initiate deportation proceedings against suspected prostitutes without first charging them criminally.
“It is clear that [she] was involved in prostitution activity, which is outside that of a masseuse, as allowed by [her] entry permit,” the judge said.
