We confront ex-con brothel boss 'The Beast' as he returns from UK to account for earnings in court
BARING his brown teeth in a sarcastic smile, The Beast makes no mistake about delivering his message. The cocky brothel boss, also known as Martin Morgan, makes it clear that even after two years behind bars, he's untouchable as Ireland's king of the sex trade.
Over three decades,The Beast has been a dominant player in the dark underworld of Ireland's vice trade - built on the backs of exploited sex workers. Morgan has been one of Ireland's most successful vice bosses, making millions from seedy prostitution operations. But the former bouncer-turned pimp was in no mood to shed any light on his life in the sex-for-sale business when confronted this week.
On a rare visit back to Ireland from his UK bolthole, the Sunday World took the opportunity to catch up with the Kildare native. When our man identified himself as a reporter with the Sunday World, his immediate response was to break into a toothy grin.
