Berks County law enforcement officials are sending a message to owners of massage parlors in Berks County: Operate as a front for prostitution and you will be shut down.
Jian YanYan got that message loud and clear when authorities busted the Blandon woman for allegedly operating a house of prostitution out of Jane's Spa Oriental Massage, 8468 Allentown Pike/Route 222 in Maidencreek Township.
Detectives with the Berks County district attorney's office began their investigation of the business in January.
YanYan then met with an undercover detective inside the massage parlor last Thursday and offered to perform sexual services on him in exchange for $50, officials said.
Then, detectives and agents with the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, armed with arrest and search warrants, converged on the massage parlor Monday afternoon.
Detectives took YanYan into custody and seized surveillance cameras, approximately $12,000 in U.S. cash, and numerous documents and various items associated with the act of prostitution, officials said.
YanYan, 38, was charged with criminal solicitation, prostitution and related offenses. She was committed to the Berks County Jail on $10,000 bail.
