The prosecutors claimed that Liang and his team helped organize more than 100,000 prostitution activities Cheap Adrian Gonzalez Jersey , a substantial part of which involved underage prostitutes.
The prosecutors said Liang ordered the destruction of two truckloads of documents after a media exposé. They said that the sauna division of the Dongguan Taizi Hotel, a veiled name for his prostitution organization, was able to rake in over 48.9 million yuan ($7.9 million) in profit in 2013 alone.
Liang and three people denied the charges while the other 43 pleaded guilty in court.
Lawyers believe that Liang could face life in jail or even the death sentence if convicted.
Liang was detained in April last year in a sex trade crackdown, after China Central Television exposed footage of rampant prostitution in Dongguan, including a nude show at Liang's hotel.
The crackdown cost the jobs of two Dongguan police chiefs after they were found to have colluded with the prostitution rings and served as their protectors in exchange for bribes. Liang was also stripped of his title as a deputy to the 12th National People's Congress on the day he was detained.
According to a Tuesday report from news site thepaper, Liang "industrialized" his prostitution business by offering his "sauna technicians" training courses and routine health checks and standardizing the recruiting procedures.
He allegedly charged his customers rates ranging from 600 yuan to 1 Cheap Todd Frazier Jersey ,500 yuan based on the physical condition of the "technicians," many of them underage. The "technicians" would also receive medical treatment if they were found to have contracted contagious diseases.

According to Yang Zongren, former head of the Intermediate People's Court of Dongguan, the city's police arrested 917 people in the 2014 crackdown, among whom 673 had been indicted.
Hua Jingfeng Cheap Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey , an official from the Ministry of Public Security, said in February that after a year of police efforts, prostitution and gambling activities in Dongguan's entertainment venues have been effectively curbed, thepaper reported.
According to the China Business Journal, Liang's wealth was valued at 2 billion yuan in 2008. He allegedly owns 10 oil wells in Kazakhstan.

UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday expressed concern over a possible cut in U.S. contributions to a UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
""In UNRWA, I am very concerned. And I strongly hope that in the end it will be possible for the United States to maintain the funding of UNRWA in which the U.S. has a very important share,"" Guterres told reporters, referring to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees.
UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency) is not a Palestinian institution, UNRWA is a UN institution Cheap Mike Piazza Jersey , Guterres explained.
The agency is providing vital services to the Palestinian refugees, both in the occupied territories and in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, he said.
""Those services are of extreme importance, not only for the well-being of these populations -- and there is a serious humanitarian concern here -- but also Cheap Darryl Strawberry Jersey , in my opinion and the opinion that is shared by most international observers, including some Israeli ones, it is an important factor of stability.""
If the agency will not be in a position to provide the vital services and the emergency forms of support that it has been providing, this will create a very, very serious problem, said the UN chief. ""And we'll do everything we can to avoid the situation to occur.""
It is reported that U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to withhold tens of millions of dollars for UNRWA Cheap Keith Hernandez Jersey , which was created in 1949 as a relief and human development agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
