Huen Kwong Wong (54), of Thomas Forman Court, Sherwood, and his girlfriend Ivone Colaco (48) were arrested during the operation and have admitted conspiracy to control prostitution between 1st May 2005 and 23rd March 2007.

Pak Kim Chung (60), of Tudor Road, Leicester, was also arrested and admitted controlling prostitution for gain between 1st February 2007 and 23rd March 2007.
Det Insp Ian Winton, of the Nottinghamshire sexual exploitation investigation unit, said the woman had been forced to work in the off-street sex industry to pay off the fee they paid to gain entry to Britain.
All three are on bail and will be sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on 14th July
