Authorities said 60-year-old Un Sun Lee Brown, whose last known address was in Silver Spring, surrendered to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Washington on Wednesday after being on the run since 2006. Authorities said Brown operated a downtown D.C. brothel and recruited women from Korea under false pretenses, then threatened them with violence if they made efforts to escape.

The women often were transported to New York, where they were told the truth: They would have to work as prostitutes to offset their costs for being smuggled into the country, authorities said.
The brothel owners often asked for specific physical attributes, and some in Washington complained that some of the women were “too tall” or “not satisfactory,” according to recorded conversations. Sometimes the women were shipped back and forth to brothels in other cities to fill specific orders filed by other brothel owners and managers, authorities said.
