Chinese National Charged for Trafficking Women from Asia in Boston Sex Ring

A Chinese national was arrested Wednesday on federal charges alleging she trafficked women from Asia to work in a prostitution ring operating out of apartments in Boston.

The suspect, Zengzeng Liu, 40, also known as "Bella," was indicted June 24 by a federal grand jury in Massachusetts on four counts of recruiting or persuading individuals to travel to engage in prostitution and three counts of using interstate or foreign communications to operate a racketeering enterprise, according to an affidavit filed Wednesday by an FBI task force member. The operation was uncovered in late 2025 after an FBI task force began investigating advertisements posted on a website known for facilitating prostitution.
