Writing the court, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Val Richey said Dehennis (911 Dispatcher), a 48-year-old Edmonds man, wrote long, graphic reviews of his experiences with prostitutes in the Seattle area.

The detective posted fake reviews, asked other members for tips and got himself invited to “meet and greet” parties where men were introduced to sex workers, according to court papers. The detective first attended a party in January 2008, at a South Lake Union bistro that has since closed, and went to several more in the years since

As investigators describe them, those involved in the ad hoc brothels were indeed victims.

Most of the women working for the seven “agencies” targeted by investigators were taken from the airport directly to the apartment where they were expected to work, a Bellevue Police Department detective said in charging papers. The agencies provided the women with everything from condoms to customers, who found the women through The Review Board and other sites.

“The women are advertised as available 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week,” the detective told the court. “The prostituted people are typically foreign nationals who are trafficked from major city to major city so that there are always new workers and new ‘experiences’ for the agencies to advertise in order to meet the ever-growing online demand for commercial sex.”

Richey, the lead prosecutor in the investigation, described Zitars and the other men as holding an “obsession with sexual exploitation.” That fixation has fostered a market for prostitution, he continued, and helped to encourage the growth of brothels staffed by South Korean women who have been coerced into prostitution.

“These brothels serve as part of a national pipeline that transports exploited women around the country for use in prostitution,” the prosecutor told the court.

Dehennis helped in that network of exploitation, Richey continued, while working in law enforcement.
