Somerset spa owner charged with human trafficking

Police arrested the owner of a Somerset spa earlier this week following a months-long human trafficking investigation.

 

Yuehong Wang, 53, was taken into custody Tuesday as detectives executed a search warrant at Lotus Flower Body Works off Grand Army Highway.

 

Wang is facing several charges, including trafficking of a person for sexual servitude, deriving support from prostitution, two counts of sexual conduct for a fee, aiding and permitting a nuisance and keeping a house of ill fame.

The investigation began back in March and stemmed from concerns of possible human trafficking taking place at the business, according to police.
