Three women are charged with prostitution-related crimes following busts earlier this month at two South Hall County massage parlors. Undercover agents with the Gainesville/Hall County Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad arrested them following a three-month investigation.
Hall County Sheriff’s spokesperson Derreck Booth says the arrests happened on January 7 and 12. The sheriff’s office released the information Thursday.
On January 7, agents arrested Yuxia Zhang, 43, of Suwanee at Good Massage in the 4900 block of Lanier Islands Parkway. That same day, they also arrested Baoyu Zheng, 54, of Duluth, at the nearby Snow Massage. Agents charged both women with prostitution and masturbation for hire.
Each was released from jail on $2,600 bond.
Following Zheng’s arrest, Booth says investigators obtained an arrest warrant for the owner of Snow Massage. On January 12, they arrested Yu Ying Chen, 26, of Suwanee. Agents charged her with keeping a place of prostitution for allowing an employee to conduct masturbation for hire at her place of business.
Chen was released from jail on a $1,300 bond.
The MANS Unit continues its investigation.
