Jing Emtage, 54, a Singaporean national who operated several Washington state massage parlours as part of a prostitution ring with her husband Gerald, has been added to the US “worst of the worst criminal aliens” list ahead of her deportation. In July last year, Jing was sentenced to two years and two months in prison for seven counts of second-degree promoting prostitution and money laundering; Gerald received three years and two months and a concurrent 12-month sentence for similar charges following an investigation that began in 2021. Prosecutors alleged the couple profited significantly from exploiting dozens of women, despite living lavishly themselves while their victims were not compensated properly.
