I hope no one got caught up in this. I look at the STG ads for the Boro a good bit and earlier in the week I noticed an ad that said she would be back in Statesboro from the 11th to the 13th. The ad said she was from Savannah, but I have never seen the pics she used. They came back unknown on my searches and the phone number was also unknown. I said to myself then that there was going to be a burst in the Boro. And goddanm!

I am still doing some research on the girls who got caught up in it. Looks like one of the TS's got it too. I am ALWAYS extra cautious around Statesboro because they do this fairly regularly.

MORE TO COME.

I'm not saying that the girl in this ad has anything to do with what went down in the Boro. I'm just saying that this is the ad that made my spidey senses tingle.

2 of the 3 females who were caught up in the trouble have been talked about here recently. The 3rd is a older lady who runs an ad in Statesboro every day. She never posts more than once or twice a day but she got caught up all the same.

More to come!

I'm not saying she is either, but I thought the exact same thing! I try to do my research throughly before I see someone and I noticed that the ad said she was from Savannah but I too had never seen her pictures before. I browse just about every day, even if I don't plan on seeing anyone just so I can keep up with what's going on. So when I saw that ad say that, my spidey senses went off as well. It's crazy, the only reason I was even browsing the statesboro board was because I was interested in seeing a petite asian that was posting. I'm going to postpone that visit now just to be on the safe side!

A former Hilton Head Island massage parlor owner faces charges of running a brothel in Charleston after police watched the business for more than a year.

Lina Tan Driggers, 58, of Beaufort County faces one count of operating a brothel and one count of committing the offense within 100 yards of a childcare facility, according to a S. C. Law Enforcement Division news release on Wednesday.

An investigation by SLED and the Charleston Police Department into Driggers' "Oriental Massage Therapy" on Ashley River Road began after a Feb. 8, 2020, anonymous tip from a family member of a masseuse.

The family member said the masseuse was recruited to work at Oriental Massage Therapy through a Chinese newspaper. When the masseuse started the position, however, "their passport was taken, and they were forced to complete sexual acts with clients," according to an affidavit.

Multiple surveillance "operations" by Charleston police detectives between March 16,2020 and June 28,2021 showed that the clientele appeared to be all adult males who frequently exceeded allotted times. A customer who was stopped leaving the business said it's where one goes to solicit prostitutes.

SLED also sent an undercover agent to request sexual acts, which a masseuse agreed to perform. The agent said he "changed his mind" from the verbal agreement and left.

After a search warrant was executed, an employee told SLED agents she was instructed to perform sexual acts for customers.

Driggers was charged on Wednesday afternoon by SLED and booked into Charleston County's detention center, the release said.

A company that owned property on Hilton Head sued Driggers on Jan. 9, 2020 over unpaid costs regarding a massage parlor Driggers operated on Hilton Head.

Driggers ran "Oriental Massage" from November 2018 to November 2019 on Central Avenue near the island's north end off USA 278.

The company said Driggers' business was "suspected of engaging in unsavory activities creating a nuisance to the entire complex, and tenants were strongly suspected of engaging in activities that were in violation of local and state laws," according to court documents.

She left voluntarily on Nov. 1, 2019, after disputes with the landlord. However, in a counterclaim, Driggers alleged that the landlord, Ned E. Gilleland, Sr. , "noisily threatened to have his 'lawyer daughter' sue the Defendants for eviction and a lot of damages if they did not immediately vacate. ".

South Carolina massage parlors have been in the spotlight in recent years, specifically in Horry County, for harboring victims of sex trafficking. A report from the Myrtle Beach Sun News in April 2021 revealed that Horry County law enforcement and prosecutors shut down 20 massage parlors with the help of a private investigator who solicited prostitution using taxpayer dollars.

According to a 2020 report from the S. C. Attorney General's Office, illicit massage parlors were the chief venue for sex trafficking in the state.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S. C. (WCBD) – A massage parlor in Charleston County has been busted for allegedly operating as a brothel, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.

SLED agents charged a Beaufort County woman for operating the massage parlor that permitted commercial sex activity.

The business, Oriental Massage Therapy, located on Ashley River Road in Charleston County, also operated within close proximity of a public childcare facility.

Lina Tan Driggers, 58, was charged with operating a brothel and commission of offenses within 100 yards of a childcare facility, SLED stated.

The investigation was requested by the Summerville Police Department. According to warrant affidavits, the Charleston Police Department received an anonymous complaint through Crime Stoppers in February 2020 that they were a family member of a current employee — that person said their family member was recruited to work at the business through a Chinese newspaper for the position of masseuse.

"The family member responded to the ad and began to work at the business, at which time their passport was taken, and they were forced to complete sexual acts with clients," the affidavit stated.

Charleston PD detectives reported that between March 16,2020, and June 28,2021, they conducted multiple surveillance operations at the massage parlor. "They reported that the clientele for the business appeared to be all adult males, visited the location individually, and frequently exceeded the normal allotted times for similarly advertised message serves at reputable massage locations. ".

Detectives also conducted lawful traffic stops on customers as they left the business. One customer told investigators that he frequented the business because it was known for the solicitation of prostitution.

A search warrant was conducted at the business on October 6, 2021, where SLED agents say they encountered a "John" who admitted post-Miranda that he paid for a sexual act from two of the employees.

Driggers has been booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center.

Basically, the guy got caught in an undercover sting. Had a case of Bud light for himself, and a case of white claw requested by the undercover operative. This was in Florida, by the way.
