Hong Tang and Todd Allen Powell
This is 28-year-old Hong “Coco” Tang.
Hong Tang is a businesswoman who was doing very well for herself, making well over a million dollars a year.
Through her diligent efforts at merchandising, Hong Tang has a nice $350,000 house in Denver that she owns free and clear.
Hong Tang owns two cars, a 2006 Toyota Corolla and a 2007 Honda CRV – which are both paid off.
Yes, business is good for Ms. Tang and you know, if it wasn’t for the fact that Hong Tang has been arrested on suspicion of prostitution-related crimes every year since 2004, she might even have been a Denver Better Business Bureau charter member.
Hong Tang was the madam and owner of an escort service in Denver known as “Denver Sexy.” When you’ve got the goods that people want, you don’t need a cool name. Hong Tang advertised her wares on several websites as well as in a few alternative weekly magazines in the Denver area.
While it would be immediately obvious as to what business Hong Tang was operating to anyone of even mediocre intelligence, police never really looked that deeply into Ms. Tang’s business until a neighbor of hers reported that the hours Ms. Tang was keeping were a tad bit suspicious.
And that’s really the downfall for so many whores nowadays. They make a lot of money and they don’t want to live in the ghetto anymore so they move into a high-priced residential neighborhood – and then they get all the nosy neighbors who don’t want to live next to a whorehouse.
After two years of investigation into her business, police arrested Hong Tang and her business partner, 44-year-old Todd Allen Powell, on the 8th of August, 2008.
According to documents filed by investigators, Hong Tang’s Denver Sexy charged clients between $300 to $350 an hour to engage in sexual activity with a wide variety of females that Hong flew in from around the country.
While this isn’t hell-worthy, the fact that Hong Tang actively sought teenage girls to employ is.
Despite the fact that there is demand for teenage booty in certain segments of the population, it’s really not right to sell it.
Between October of 2005 and November of 2006, one of the prostitutes working for Hong Tang’s Denver Sexy was a 16-year-old girl. The girl, who was caught by police and convinced to inform on the ring, described performing hundreds of sexual acts with many, many different men while working for Hong Tang.
Before the girl was sent to one of the more than 450 hotel rooms that Ms. Tang rented between January of 2006 and March of 2008, “Coco” would take the client’s money and hand over some condoms.
The girls were given their share of the money after they performed.
While vice unit detectives were arresting Hong Tang at her home, a thorough search of the rest of her house revealed more than $30,000 in cash and computers that were used for business purposes. Several thousand condoms and large quantities of sexual lubricants were also confiscated.
Hong Tang’s cars and house have been seized and will receive a thorough cleaning.
Authorities also discovered a number of bank accounts that Hong Tang used, including one containing more than $316,000.
Hong Tang has been charged with nine felony counts that include pimping, pimping of a child and keeping a place of prostitution.
Todd Allen Powell has been charged with pimping, conspiracy and several other offenses relating to prostitution.

We have such QUALITY people in Denver, maybe it’s the altitude that clouds the mind of good judgment………..I know for certain that it screws up the effect that alcohol has on me whenever I travel and that kinda pisses me off.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy..
but it’s apparently pretty lucrative.
I’m surprised that no one has made a lewd reference to her last name lol.
THAT is some funny shit!! LMAO
I’m surprised her first name isn’t Poon.
There ya go Slim, Sherry couldn’t resist I guess.
*whisper* but I would have done it if she didn’t. I mean, com’on man……
*in my best nasally Vietnamese prostitute voice* “Fucky sucky, 5 dollah. Me love you long time GI. Me so horny.”
Send her to a living hell…. let Bubba have a real female instead of the faggy shemale from an earlier post.
She deserves such, let her do her own dirty work, deal with her own sticky situations….
You know – I have a hard time saying “hell” for this woman. I don’t have as much against prostitution as I do about people abusing vulnerable people.
Women are GOING to sell their bodies. Men are GOING to buy them. We will never stop it.
At least if it is going to happen we should
A) Tax the pimps
B) Tax the prostitutes
C) Make sure the prostitutes get proper medical care
D) Make sure the prostitutes are doing it voluntarily
E) make sure the prostitutes are as safe as possible under the circumstances.
If one hooker was sixteen then I guess Hong needs hell. But if the sixteen year old had fake ID and claimed to be legal age, then Hong just need jail.
Because, no matter how stupid the law is, the fact remains that prostitution is illegal. Pimping is illegal. And pimping sixteen year olds is illegal AND immoral.
Hong knew that. Hong also took advantage of the fact that SHE didn’t have to pay income tax on the high fees she charged, effectively doubling her income.
Throw the book at Hong – let her pay all of her ill-gotten profits to attorneys (who will pay at least a little income tax), give her some jail time – then set her back out on the street with nothing. That’s justice.
umm I guess you scimmed the part where she pimped kids.
i was wondering about that too. i have no problem with protitution either, but under 18 is a big no-no
Sorry, I just don’t buy the whole “pimping 16 year olds is illegal and immoral”…says who? Arbitrary age lines are ridiculous. Some 16 year olds know what they are doing, many don’t. Hell, many 18 year olds don’t know what they are doing and yet by virtue of some state legislated morality, it’s ok to fuck one.
Some 16 year olds are more mature than people in the 20s. You have to take each case separately…it’s plain stupidity to assume a position of age-based moral outrage.
Was this girl a victim? If so, how? Did she get dragged into it without her consent? Are you saying no 16 year old has the mental or emotional maturity to make a decision about her sexuality? What about a 17 year old who is 1 day shy of his/her 18th birthday…would that be immoral.
Just wonderin’
1 day before her 18th birthday?? You have to be shitting me. Seems to me with all the excuses you came up with that you are looking to score some young chick.
Sick trash.
don’t be such a hypocrite, you’d hit a hot 16 year old girl if it wasn’t illegal, most men would you know…… (i would)
You can teach her all the cool DD tricks.
Yeah. You know that’s what you’d be looking forward to. lol
I want 18 so that I can be legal, fair and square. And I’d give the happy finger to the law because she is legal and they can’t shit my draws. Hahahahaha
Ahhh bullshit “most men would”!
Maybe shallow men would, but REAL men like women who can hold a conversation, discuss politics or literature or a variety of other topics, who can balance a checkbook and whip up a gourmet meal, and who can actually have, and appreciate an orgasm.
Yeah! Thats RIGHT! Sixteen year old girls may be cute and all, but they are duds in the sack. I know – I was a sixteen year old girl once, and as much as I TRIED to enjoy it, it was just “pleasant” at best. The older I got the better it got!
So, amuse yourself with the thought of some teenie cheerleader, but just remeber this : women reach their sexual maturity at about 30. Men reach it at about 20. So if you are 40, and she is 18… it’s not gonna be that hot.
(Of course – I could sure use a younger man…..)
You guys dont know the right 16 year olds :P
Seriously, I know a 14 year old (who originally told me she was 16) who has more personality than most 19 year olds I know.
And whoever said 16 year olds suck at sex is very much wrong.
I wouldnt date anyone under 16, but I’d sure as hell have sex with them.
BTW, I am 18.
Nrik – I am not talking the difference between different aged children. I am talking about the differences between a child, a young woman, and a mature woman.
For you, at 18, a 16-20 year old girlfriend is fine.
I mean that a thirty or forty year old man being all hot for a 16 – 18 year old chickie is messed up somewhere.
And what HOT sixteen year old is going to be even a tiny bit interested in Mr. Receding-Hairline? Only the ones who want the stuff that those extra years of income production have made him able to buy.
So, I stick by what I said, all around.
An old man wanting a young girl has some kind of head problems.
A young girl interested in an old man either has head issues, or wants a payoff for a put-out.
Ah…the voice of reason…new it wouldn’t be long before that came out….
What is it about “1 day before her 18th birthday” makes you think I am shitting you? All I am asking is when did 18 become the magical cut-off point between “sick trash” and ok? Is there some switch that gets flipped all-of-a-sudden that turns a person from a child into a fully responsible adult?
And for your info, not that I give a fuck what you think, I like women my age.
Whore. I hope she rots in hell.
I hear ya Mazzi, however, I have heard that there were other “young girls” involved too, not just 1 sixteen year old. I am sure, once again, that there is far more to this story than we will ever know BUT she was bringing these girls over here from another country which to me screams that she was bringing them over as part of a sort of slave trade, you know, “I will bring you over here but you will have to work off your debt to me and blow every Harry, Dick, and Tom that I send you to in order to do so” and that to me spells pure evil. When you in a sense force a young girl to have sex with multiple people to supplement your lifestyle, your a piece of shit, skanky, dirty, greedy, crazy bitch. You are right about prostitution being the oldest profession in the world and I suppose if you some people like to take part in that type of thing then hey, to each his own. What I do have a problem with is how much people in this society have become whores themselves, constantly cheating on their spouses, creating off-spring from 15 different daddies, it’s just sad to me that morals and values that were once held so high are now almost completely out the window. I mean we wonder why this world is so fucked up and people are so shitty to one another, it’s because no one is important to anyone anymore. I would be heart broken if I ever found out that my husband went behind my back and paid a stranger from god knows where for sex. In fact it makes me utterly sick right now just thinking about it. UGH!!!
Well, if they were using these prostitutes like slaves, and forcing them into it, then both deserve hell.
Thats covered under (D) that they are doing it voluntarily.
I had one boyfriend cheat on me, when I was 18. That was enough. I thought of all the things that he did – besides cheating on me, and was able to get sort of a composite in my head of why it shouldn’t have been a shock that he cheated.
Things like: how he looked at other women; how he treated ME like an object sometimes; how his personality changed when he drank and how much he drank.
It taught me a lot.
ack – cut myself off lol
Anyway – all of those cues helped me identify the GOOD traits in my future boyfriends, and helped me pick the best father I possibly could for my daughter, and the best stepfather too. (Interestingly, my ex, his wife, my husband and I are all best friends now – my ex and I grew apart as husband/wife but never as friends).
Anyway – being cheated on is nothing I have worried about in many many years. I can’t really explain how I know, but I DO know that there is zero chance that my husband would sleep with anyone else even if it was free and she looked like a goddess.
It’s about integrity, honesty and responsibility.
Mazzi,
You are correct….
Integrity, Honesty, Responsibility,
Reliability, and Congruence are an awesome recipe for long term co-habitation.
She will likely pay a huge sum of money, struggle to hold her assets, and get out in a few years to re-bolster the sex trade.
Making all that money selling teenage booty and all you’re driving is a 2006 Toyota Corolla and a 2007 Honda CRV? I would have gone out at lease half pimp style and gotten an Escalade. What a dumb bitch.
I work a legal 9 to 5 and this bitch lays on her back and makes millions.
I need a sex change.
GO BACK TO YOR COUNTRY!!!
be a whore slut in yor on country dont bring that chicken fake for dog chunks here
cuz we dont want to eat smelly rice i get tired of you people USA was a good place until you invade it wit bad morals
I got a rope and fixin to find a tree
Before you do please go back to school and learn to read and write. You can be more colorful with your suicide note. If need be I can give you a pistol. Faster that way.
Nothing like being illiterate is there…..
I would think she was forcing them since if they do it voluntarily, then they expect things like fair treatment and raises. But using underage girls is wrong whether they agree or not.
That being said – I have never understood why if a woman sleeps with a man and he gives her cash – it’s illegal. However, if the same woman sleeps with a man after a nice dinner and he gives her a gift – THEN it’s just dating.
A guy who takes on a child for sex, paid for or not paid for, is an IDIOT.
A guy who just pays for sex is someone who can’t go find a free shag, therefore should be thrown out of the genepool.
Paying for sex is immoral, you can easily get a job cleaning the streets. PEOPLE that become prostitutes (there are PLENTY of male ones) have something wrong in their heads, they do not respect themselves. And for someone to come and take advantage of that so heartlessly and then used the excuse that they “Paid for it” should be burnt at the stake.
there’s a great book that you should read, it’s called “the happy hooker”
available in stores now!
I dunno about hell…..but i think she’s hot
18 is a line – sure there are mature 16 year olds and immature 20 year olds, but somewhere a line needs to be drawn, a 41 year old should not be dating a 17 year old – period!
An 19 year old and a 17 year old should be allowed though as the difference in their ages is not that big.
The line needs to be drawn because people will take advantage of “shades of gray” – children need protection, even if the law is a dumb & blind gaurd dog. Anything less than a line or a closed door will be something that every pervert with a good lawyer will be able to get by.
That whore took my virginity and stole $10.
I feel cheated, Fred.
I’m worth more than $10.
Damn. I would have taken your virginity and stolen $20 from you! (feel better?)
Hahahahahah :)
I would’ve taken the $10.00 and let you keep your virginity.
Got rid of my virginity for a reason – didn’t like it a bit, why would I want yours? Knowing you, it’s probably fucked up anyway.
*giggle*
good one!
That’s true. But did you know that a human liver weighs oh about three pounds and is about five to six inches thick?
It conforms nicely with your basic 14″ frying pan, Non-Stick Finish, with Silver Stone.
My wife has been out of commission for a while, and I am starting to feel like I am in high school again…. someone who wants to get rid of this virginity thing…..
If you are of the opposite sex and younger than me I’ll treat, if you are older, you gotta pick up the bill!
As Tone Loc said in “Funky Co Medina” :.. Got no plans with a man…”
Yeah Fred, I think Miwist has been drinking again.
Again. I am so happy my state allows us to bear arms
Oh come on people wake up and smell the Sanka (is that even around anymore?) NEWSFLASH: there is this place called craigslist.com and anyone who wants random sex with random people at any random time can go there and find it FOR FREE!!! Hell, you can even find someone that is willing to meet you on your drive home on the side of a road to get it on with…….SICK,SICK,SICK world!!!
Turtle, trust me – I ain’t drinking again – and after 25 years of drinking and drugging, if you want my liver, have at it.
I agree that there should be a line…in the legal sense. But to go spouting off about some sort of morality over this issue is just ridiculous. It’s ILLEGAL to fuck a 16 year old (at least in the States)…but is it immoral? Who’s to say? Define immoral in a universal context.
16 year girl = smooth lilth body
40 year old = baggage,strech marks
Ok. If an older woman/man decided to be with a younger man/women it does not make them less of a woman/man. IMO
As long as she is happy, her partners are happy, and it’s all 100% legal, I say go for it.
You only live once. Live your life.
As a man I will not in any way feel bitterness, and jealousy etc. if I see an attractive woman with a younger guy. It’s her prerogative, and her life. If they are happy, then I’m all smiles. You’d get no ridicule from the Turtle.
16 year old girl => Bubba is waiting for me to be his bride
18 year old hottie => gotta spend $$$, I am no Prince Charming
40/50 year old = She may buy / make me dinner!
Hey, being 49 years old, dinner doesn’t sound all that bad to me. LoL.
I can’t believe they called her sexy!
She can tang my hong…..
Did anyone mention that TODD POWELL was a MARRIED, devout Jehovahs Witness with 2 kids (young kids) who attended church 3 times a week with his wife and kids? Suuuppper Sick huh?
SERIOUSLY????
Goes to show ya that even the holier than thou`s are closet slimebags.
My dad was a JW and he was one of their best. They were so proud to have him in their congregation. Pity that when he got home and took off his tie he would beat my mother and take out his parinoia and rage against the world on us.
I know its not really revelant, but i dont like JW`s.
Hahaha. I hang a pentagram on my door to keep the Jehovah Witness from soliciting.
Problem solved.
Hahahah!
I started claiming to be a Buddhist to get out of stupid office christmas parties like 20 years ago. (I actually do believe in much of the philosophy, though =p)
:) Mazzi, you seem like a fun person. We the people need help writing articles at PYSIH.
Care to help? If so, please ask Admin about it. Thanks.
Yep -
Todd Powells wife and kids are now homeless,because their home has been taken for evidence. What a nice christian guy!!
HE DOES DESERVE HELL!!
Trouble is that the Jehovah`s Wittnesses DONT BELIEVE IN HELL.
Bah – neither do I. I don’t believe fairies or elves either, but I like to pretend they exist. =)
Why didn’t her ass just move to Las Vegas. See now she is a dumb criminal. She could really make a life for herself out there right? She could invite the police over for a full inspection of her property. Maybe she’ll parole there.
If Todd was a Jehovahs Wittness, as mentioned in an earlier post, she would have been making good money where she was.
Jehovahs Wittness` dont do oral sex, masturbation or fondling.( my father was a JW for 30 yrs,) It is all deemed as IMPROPER SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR. So im thinking all those frustrated JW`s were keeping her rent paid in full.
ME LOVE YOU LOOOONG TIME.
