A Kenyan woman has been jailed for 10 years in the UK for running two brothels and enslaving a Romanian woman. Ann O'Brien was born Hannah Wambui Muya at Mt Kenya's Kahurura forest where her parents were squatters.
She later changed her name to Ann Wambui Muya. She opened her first three-girl escort agency in UK in 1997 and expanded to managing 40 prostitutes and paying
thousands of pounds into 27 bank accounts.
Apart from her brothels, she was also running two websites dubbed 'Brothels on Wheels' which sent girls to homes and hotel rooms. According to the Daily Mail, her sex menu offered services for between Ksh5,000 to Ksh20,000 depending on the degree of sexual contact with girls from as far as Thailand, Brazil, and Sweden.
In 2005 she was convicted of three counts of controlling prostitution but was let off with a 180-community punishment order and ordered to pay back Sh80 million. But soon after, she started her business again with her husband, Martin Carroll, and sister, Elizabeth Muya running a 24-hour service with three shifts of prostitutes for her many clients.
Her life of selling illicit love was first revealed when she appeared at a UK court and was found guilty of three counts of controlling prostitutes between October 10, 2003, and April 15 2004.
On Tuesday she was convicted of charges including conspiracy to control prostitution for gain, facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation. O'Brien's sister, Elizabeth Muya and her husband Martin Carroll assisted the madam in running her prostitution network. Muya was jailed for 21 months while Carroll, received a suspended sentence.
