David Davies and Larong Hu arrested for Pimping and Pandering
On June 9, 2021, Detectives from the Milpitas Police Department and Investigators from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office concluded a two year long pimping and pandering investigation with the arrest of David Davies, a 57-year old male, and his wife, Larong Hu, a 38-year old female, both Milpitas residents. The couple was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for pimping and pandering and felony conspiracy charges. Both suspects are being held on a $350,000 bail.
The investigation began in December of 2019, when detectives from the Milpitas Police Department and Investigators from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office identified a brothel in the City of Milpitas. During the investigation, detectives located additional brothels throughout the county and served search warrants in Milpitas, San Jose, and Palo Alto. The investigation resulted in the rescue of six female victims and the seizure of nearly two million dollars.
The rescued victims were immediately provided services through Community Solutions, an organization that provides critical services for victims of Human Trafficking.
