Prostitutes describe brothel keeper as ‘second mother’

Two Hungarian women working as prostitutes in Ireland described their brothel keeper as a “second mother” and a friend, a court has heard.

Diana Karacsony, aged 32, was ordered to pay €10,000 to Ruhama, a charity working with women affected by prostitution, after admitting her role in managing a brothel.

The Hungarian national pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assisting in keeping and managing a brothel in an apartment at The Asgard, Custom House Harbour, Dublin 1, on dates between January 1, 2011, and May 30, 2012.
