DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – More than a dozen women are behind bars for running what police are calling a multi-million dollar prostitution ring.

15 women, ranging in age from 48-to-73-years-old, were busted during undercover operations at several brothels fronting as Korean massage parlors in North Dallas on Aug. 26.

Federal agents have accused Sun Im Mount, 52, of collecting money from the parlors and laundering it through the WinStar World Casino in Oklahoma, and several casinos in Louisiana.  They said she used the money to stock the “brothels” with condoms.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Mount is associated with eight of the alleged brothels: Number 1 Spa, Green Spa, Home Town Day Spa, Dupond Studio, 7 Star Spa, Empire Spa, Gold One Spa and Dallas Doll House.  The paper said Mount owns the Home Town Day Spa on Walnut Hill Lane.

Four other massage parlors, Smile Spa, Hulahand, Moon Night, and Elegant Spa, have also been implicated.

Court papers said Mount visited WinStar more than 30 times in a seven-month span and laundered more than $3 million.
