The last of several people convicted in the Cape Town High Court on a number of charges involving brothels, human trafficking, extortion, and racketeering, among others, will be sentenced on Monday
Natasha Chang, 41, was sentenced this week in the Cape Town High Court on charges linked to several brothels in Cape Town, including in Milnerton, Table View, Big Bay, and Bellville, Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Philani Nkwalase said in a statement on Saturday.
"This additional payments were extorted between 2012 and 2015 from several clients who used the brothels' services to ensure that the photos of their sexual encounters would not be posted on social media," Nkwalase said. Two other people, Norman Bridger, 34, and Michael D’Oliveira, 41, were convicted following a plea sentence agreement on September 30, 2019. Bridger was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for racketeering ; six years on each count of extortion ; 12 years on six count of money laundering ; and 12 months imprisonment for living off the proceeds of crime, suspended for five years. All sentences would run concurrently, Nkwalase said.
