Woman accused of keeping Claremont 'prositution house' set for arraignment

A woman accused of maintaining a "prostitution house" in a Claremont apartment is set to appear in Pomona Superior Court this morning for an arraignment hearing, said Claremont police Lt. Shelly Vander Veen.

Here's Lori Consalvo's brief on the woman's arrest:

Claremont police officers arrested a woman suspected of running a prostitution house in the city.

Hengxiang Chen, 39, of Alhambra was booked on suspicion of prostitution Tuesday and is being held at the Claremont Jail pending court, according to a police news release.

About a month ago, police investigators received an anonymous tip that an apartment in the 500 block of West San Jose Avenue was being used exclusively for prostitution.

Officials conducted ongoing surveillance at the apartment and served a search warrant about 11:25 a.m. Tuesday, according to the news release.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on Chen, a Chinese national, because she is allegedly in the United States illegally, according to the news release.
