The alleged prostitution ring at a Harker Heights massage parlor had ties to other illegal operations across the state and New York, according to a state investigator who testified at a bond hearing this week in a Bell County court.
During a pair of bond hearings on July 8 and continued on July 26, Judge Paul LePak heard testimony and arguments before reducing one of the bonds that had been set for one of the three defendants, Limei Feng Godfrey, 50.
Godfrey has been in custody since June 2 in lieu of bonds totaling $250,000, on two first-degree felony charges of engaging in organized criminal activity and one third-degree felony charge of aggravated promotion of prostitution, jail records showed.

A Killeen man was sentenced earlier this week to prison time for stabbing a man in 2019.
During a remote hearing on Tuesday, James Willie Black, 33, pleaded guilty to a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
Following a plea agreement, Judge Steve Duskie then sentenced Black to two years in prison with credit for time served.
No testimony or arguments were presented during the hearing in the 426th Judicial District Court.
On June 14, 2019, Killeen police were dispatched to the 2600 block of Bermuda Drive in reference to an assault with a weapon, according to the arrest affidavit.
At the hospital, police met with the man, who said that he had gone to Blackâs house to get a movie back that Black had borrowed. Police said that the two men got into an argument about money and Black stabbed the man, who ran back to his residence.
