Massage Parlor Owner Arrested for Human Trafficking

The owner of a massage parlor in South Central Pennsylvania was arrested after being accused of using the establishment to sell customers sexual services performed by herself and her staff.

In the fall of 2023, “Operation: Closed2Trafficking” was launched in Cumberland County to try to curtail sex trafficking that was taking place in local massage parlors. Last month, Cumberland County Criminal Investigation Division deputies went to GL Massage Therapy in Carlisle with a search warrant and inspected the business. One of the employees reportedly told them that she and another woman had both taken money from customers in exchange for sexual activities. The deputies learned the other individual’s name, and they discovered that the 69-year-old woman from Newport owned a massage business called Li’s Asian Spa, also known as New Asian Spa. They purported that illegal activity was going on there as well, and they began investigating the establishment.

An online search was conducted, and the authorities reportedly saw several reviews posted for Li’s where the presumed clients mentioned trading money for sexual pleasure. According to reports, a few individuals claiming to be customers spoke directly to deputies and told them they had paid for sex acts.
