Interviews with three non-trafficked women arrested in the July 1 brothel raids were read out to the jury during the trial.
Romanian Tatyama Burzen told police she came to the UK to become a prostitute and came across Nikki Chen through the massage sections of newspapers and agreed to a 50/50 split of any money.
Using the name Sophy, she told police Chen sent her a text message saying “OK darling Sophy. Wednesday – Surbiton. Friday my other flat Egham.”
The door of the flat was opened by a Thai girl, she told police, but said she only had time to change into her work clothes when arresting officers burst in the door.
Irina-Madalina Constantin, from Madrid, said Nikki Chen asked her to send a text message with details of her bust and dress size, before agreeing to split the £120 an hour fee for sex.
She said: “A customer was already waiting for me at the flat. I was very busy on the first day at the Surbiton address.”
