Two women arrested and booked for pimping

After receiving several complaints about alleged prostitution at 147 S. King Road, the San Jose Police Department’s Vice Unit conducted an undercover investigation and determined that prostitution was occurring at this residence.

At about 6 p.m. on June 2, the Vice Unit and officers from the Metro Unit served a warrant at 147 S. King Road and arrested seven of the women located inside the address.

The preliminary investigation shows this was an organized house of prostitution. Joanne Vy, 55 and Thu Thi Vy, 39, were arrested for pimping, conspiracy and keeping or residing in a “house of ill fame.” The five other women in the house were cited and released for solicitation for prostitution and/or keeping or residing in a “house of ill fame.”
