Ms Watson told the court she was paying the police under an "informal containment policy" to run her brothel, Man International, which she opened in 1980.
She said before opening her establishment, she had met with two vice squad detectives, Niven and Wicks, who outlined the rules to her and told her she would need to pay them $100 per girl per week.
With 20 girls registered on her books, she said that amounted to $100,000 a year, but she agreed because there was a "lot of money to be made".
