AURORA | Federal prosecutors Wednesday gave the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office $589,000 seized from an Aurora madam who ran a metro Denver prostitution ring.
The money is part of more than $1 million investigators seized from Michelle Schramm. Investigators say Schramm, who has since been convicted and deported to her native South Korea, ran a prostitution ring out of three metro area massage parlors from 2005 to 2009.
“The citizens of Arapahoe County and Metro Denver benefit twice thanks to the hard work of the Arapahoe County Sheriff and IRS – Criminal Investigation,” U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a statement Thursday. “The community benefits by the dismantling of an interstate prostitution organization. They also benefit because that organization’s financial assets were forfeited and shared with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, for law enforcement use to protect the citizens of Arapahoe County.”
The Schramm case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation unit and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.
