The sleazy operator of a foot fetish website was hit with federal sex trafficking charges Tuesday for allegedly luring prospective foot models to Big Apple hotel rooms and raping them, prosecutors said.
Jason Khan, 47, already had a 2019 Manhattan rape bust on his rap sheet when the feds picked him up this week on a three-count indictment charging him with sex trafficking by force, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York said in a press release.
“As alleged, Jason Khan lured his victims in under the lucrative promise of being a foot model before he repeatedly and violently sexually assaulted and raped them,” US Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement.
Khan owned and operated the foot fetish website FootPadNYC.com from 2019 to 2021, and ran online ads to recruit foot models, asking for applicants “interested in getting paid to have your feet worshiped.”
