From today's advocate:

Three people who ran a prostitution ring out of five Baton Rouge-area massage parlors were arrested Saturday, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post Sunday.

Deputies started investigating complaints of prostitution last September. They learned that Johnny Wang, 43 also known as Chien Wang was coming to Baton Rouge from Houston each week to pick up money from the parlors, the post says. Deputies obtained search warrants for:

Lotus Massage, on Jones Creek Road.

Wonderful Land Massage, on O'Neal Lane.

B&B Spa, on O'Neal Lane.

Blue Olive Spa, on Coursey Boulevard.

All Natural Spa on Jefferson Highway.

Deputies arrested Wang when he arrived in Baton Rouge for one of the weekly pickups, then executed all five search warrants simultaneously, EBRSO said.

Wang was arrested on counts of money laundering, promoting prostitution, pandering and criminal conspiracy, EBRSO said. Ting Song, 47, also known as Chun Xiang Song, and Huang Weng, 38, were also arrested on the same counts.

Deputies also seized $37,012, one gram of ketamine, 2 grams of methamphetamine and a 9 mm handgun.

BATON ROUGE. A woman was arrested for promoting prostitution for an investigation into a Baton Rouge massage parlor, arrest documents from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said.

In December of 2024, EBRSO started investigating a massage parlor for human trafficking and prostitution at All Natural Massage located on Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge after receiving several complaints of prostitution, arrest documents said.

The business has also used the names Camation Spa, Yu Massage, Yu Natural Massage, and Vivi's Lucky Spa at the same location in the past.

The Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy (LBMT) and St. George Fire Department have inspected the businesses at this location several times since 2018, with several investigations ending in multiple arrests.

In July 2022, the business license for the massage parlor was revoked by LBMT.

In January 2025St. George Fire Department performed an inspection and found the massage therapist's license had expired, the massage establishment license was issued under another business name, as well as beds and suitcases in rooms, seeming like the workers lived there.
