Yet, as reported by the San Francisco Examiner on June 13, law enforcement busted a prostitution operation which was coordinated by a husband and wife team referred to as "Bob and Coco." The husband, Zhi Liu, age 49, was arrested. While wife, Wei Gou, age 51, was not present at the time of the raid. San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe's office was pleased to tell this reporter on assignment for the Peninsula Progress, that bail for Liu was increased to $200,000. "This is a very serious case," said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. When the Peninsula Progress called on Wednesday June 19, to inquire for more details, Guidotti noted that Liu was to attend hearing that afternoon. She explained why the case was serious. "This is not simply prostitution, said Guidotti, this involves human trafficking." She also noted that by increasing the bail, prosecutors seek to keep the suspect from taking flight in an attempt to leave the area.
