WECT - Six women involved in conspiracy, bribery, and the operation of illegal massage parlors that allegedly provided sexual services have been arrested and charged after a year long undercover investigation.
Additional separate charges were brought against a sixth individual, Xiang Yue Jin, for allegedly bribing an undercover agent to provide protection for her parlors from law enforcement scrutiny. The criminal complaint notes the investigation was centered around an undercover agent playing the role of a corrupt police officer. The documents confirm each business owner knew sexual services were being provided in their respective spas. The complaint also notes that the business owners targeted knew they were talking to a sworn federal agent wearing a badge and a gun, but still paid him thousands in cash bribes to keep local law enforcement off their path.
Another spa owner said they put ads in Chinese or Korean newspapers, and most of the workers came from New York. Skip to content. About Us. Previous Newscasts. WECT Anywhere. WECT Jobs.
