LANDLORD INDICTED FOR ROLE IN IMMIGRATION SEX SCANDAL
Lakireddy Bali Reddy, a Berkeley, California landlord who has been at the center of an investigation by the INS for his alleged involvement in a scheme to bring in workers using fraudulent documents and to bring in underage girls for illegal sexual purposes, has now been indicted by a federal grand jury.
According to the indictment, workers that were to be given programming jobs were instead put to work in Reddy’s restaurants. Reddy also allegedly faked family relationships between the workers and the girls so they could come to the US as dependents. Reddy’s son has also been indicted. Authorities say his company, Active Tech Solutions, was used as a front to obtain visas.
The investigation into Reddy started when one of the girls with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship died of carbon monoxide poisoning in one of his apartments. If he is convicted on all counts of the indictment, Reddy faces up to 70 years in prison and a fine of million.
