Feltham man faces jail for running brothel

Posted by Matthew Lewis on Jan 12, 10 03:49 PM in Crime

A MIDDLE-aged Feltham man is facing jail for running a brothel.

Bruce Chipping, of Fruen Road, admitted selling sex with prostitutes from a premises in Church Road, Ashford at Guildford Crown Court on Monday.

The 57-year-old ran the brothel from December 2008 until May 2009 and was warned by Judge Neil Stewart that he could face jail, despite being bailed until sentencing on February 5.

Judge Stewart said: "The fact that I'm releasing you on bail is no indication of what the sentence will be. Nothing is excluded."

Chipping, who has no previous convictions, could also have any cash or assets believed to be proceeds of the vice racket seized at a confiscation hearing on July 5.

I didn't follow the case. I don't know if illegal immigrants s were tricked into prostitution or clientes were ripped off, however no mention of that was made in the above... I therefore ask who did Chipping hurt?
You cant pick up a local paper without seeing adverts for the type of service Chipping was providing I have no doubt the 'ladies' in question are still plying their trade somewhere else.
Isn't it time we grew up and as long as there is no one tricked, duped or ripped off, as long as everyone involved is over 18 and there is no disturbance to neighbours ... why should it be illegal?

Yes, the real disgrace that this man has been sent to prison. Disgusting.
