Sex141 is the most active information network in Hong Kong for sex workers, established in 2002 as an advertising platform. Although two generations of its supposed principals were arrested and tried, it continued to enjoy a near-monopoly of the online Hong Kong sex trade.
In December 2013, New Territories South Police shut down Sex141 and claimed a victory in neutralising the vice ring that was behind the website. During raids on 38 locations in the territory, 114 people, including the alleged mastermind and his wife, were arrested.[1][3][4]
