An employee of the former Blue House Lounge will change her plea to guilty on Friday. Saknin Weria entered into a plea agreement with the feds admitting that she, along with the lounge's owners, Song and In Ha Cha, traveled to Chuuk between the summer of 2005 and December of last year, recruiting at least nine women to work at the bar as hostesses and prostitutes.According to the plea agreement, Weria admits that she received compensation for recruiting the women as well as monitoring their conversations to ensure they would not inform others of the prostitution. Weria is scheduled to change her plea in the District Court on Friday.While the Cha couple changed the name of the establishment to Pat's Liberty Karaoke, the bar was shut down last week. The Alcohol Beverage Control Board revoked the license for the establishment after finding numerous violations.
