Sex slave owner jailed
The first person in Australia to be found guilty by a jury of possessing sex slaves has been jailed for 10 years.
A Victorian County Court jury found Wei Tang, 44, guilty of five charges of possessing a slave and five of owning a slave.
Tang, of Fitzroy, had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Judge Michael McInerney today sentenced her to 10 years' jail, with a minimum term of six years.
During the eight-week trial the prosecution said five Thai women, who cannot be named, were brought into Australia with the promise they would eventually be able to work legally in the sex trade.
