Flushing sex trafficking ring exposed, manager and enforcer convicted of brutal crimes: Feds

The manager and enforcer of a Flushing-based sex trafficking and prostitution ring were convicted on Tuesday by a federal jury in Brooklyn on felony charges, including assault in aid of racketeering and Hobbs Act robbery, following a month-long trial.

The jury found Siyang Chen, 35, of Queens, guilty of sex trafficking conspiracy, several assaults in-aid-of-racketeering, and Hobbs Act conspiracy and convicted Yichu Chen, 22, also of Queens, of the robbery and assault of a sex worker. Siyang Chen has now been convicted on all counts in a superseding indictment with which he was charged. When sentenced, he faces up to life in prison, and Yichu Chen faces up to 20 years in prison.
