Attorney Myles Breiner and A1NICK aka gotbailnick discuss the current sweeps/raids on Asian Massage Parlors here in Honolulu.
Currently, approximately 40 women in 2019 have been indicted for:
Illegal ownership of a business
promoting prostitution
prostitution
Politically, the prosecutor's office has branded the efforts an attempt to limit human trafficking.
Attorney Myles Breiner has represented several women involved in the raids, and has earned favorable outcomes for each client.
Bail Bond Agent A1Nick has bailed out a majority of the women involved.
During this discussion, Mr. Breiner and A1Nick talk about the difficulties in helping clients involved in a sealed or confidential indictment.
It's still very possible to make arrangements to turn in and bail out quickly, its just very difficult to get the information needed.
Consequently, attorneys may still represent clients, however, many of the details of the case, won't be available until AFTER the warrant has been served. Which means, those exposed to criminal liability never truly know if the case is active or inactive.
