The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Vice Unit carried out a two-day undercover operation beginning Monday, November 4, 2024, resulting in the arrest of 21 people.
Undercover detectives visited several massage parlors in Polk County’s Davenport, Dundee, Lakeland, and Winter Haven areas to purchase lawful massages from licensed massage therapists.
During these massages, twenty massage therapists offered to perform sexual acts for money during the sessions. Jinxia Huang, one of the suspects, battered the undercover detective after he turned down her advances.
Another suspect, Xiu Lin, was arrested outside a massage parlor for resisting arrest due to interfering, and detectives arrested another woman for prostitution.
“We want our communities to be safe and free of illegal activities and criminals who take advantage of others.
These arrests are part of our ongoing efforts to hold lawbreakers accountable. We are committed to keeping our neighborhoods safe, and we will continue to crack down on businesses that violate the law,” said Grady Judd, Sheriff.
