In the U.S., Korean-operated massage parlors that provide commercial sex in urban areas around the United States. The Polaris Project has worked extensively with law enforcement in regard to the Korean networks both in the DC region and around the country. The following statistics represent typical yearly income for a medium-sized massage parlor/brothel, although often the income for a brothel may be significantly higher. A small percentage of this income is often reported by the massage parlor owner to the government, but the majority is usually not reported. $160/session x 5 customers x 4 women = $3200/day; $3200/day x 365 days = $1,168,000.00/year22
Networks of residentially-based brothels primarily operated by and for recent immigrants from Latin America are maintained in many urban areas in the United States. A number of Federal sex trafficking prosecutions have been brought against operations in these networks, including in Florida, New Jersey and Texas. The follow statistics represent typical yearly income for a brothel with three women and approximately 25 customers per woman or girl per day. None of this income is reported to the government. $30/15 min session x 25 customers/day/woman x 3 women or girl = $2250.00/day; $2250/day x 365 days/year = $821,250.00/year23
In the U.S. as well, pimps feel almost untouchable by law enforcement because the majority of those arrested are often the victims, not the perpetrators. In most cities in the U.S., less than one percent of the prostitution-related arrests are of pimps or exploiters. According to statistics obtained from the Chicago police, in District 14, which had 21 percent (the highest percent) of the prostitution related arrests in Chicago, over a two year period (2001 and 2002), 89 percent of the arrests were female victims of commercial sex acts, 9.6 percent were male purchasers of commercial sex acts, and .6 percent were pimps.33
