Lebanon police assisted with the search of a Lebanon business believed to be involved in an illicit massage parlor ring on Tuesday, April 7.
The Lebanon Police Department helped the Oregon Department of Justice serve a search warrant at Foot Reflexology & Massage, at 2710 South Santiam Hwy., Lebanon, following a history of complaints and recent investigation that led to evidence suggesting the business may be involved in the illicit massage parlor industry and other illegal activity.
A search of the business revealed Foot Reflexology & Massage was providing unlicensed massage services, as well as having ties to other illicit massage parlors throughout the western states and country. Multiple other code and ordinance violations were located inside the business.
Fen Miao Bao, 64, was taken into custody during the investigation and ultimately cited and released for practice of massage without a license.
A massage parlor owner in Dallas was recently arraigned on charges around prostitution after Dallas police officers opened an investigation into Moon Spa, where they were offered sexual favors from employees. The business was also operating without a license. The business owner, Tsai Hsia Wu, was arrested and charged with promoting prostitution, sexual abuse III, prostitution, and violation of a massage license or permit requirements.
The Lebanon investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Jeremy Weber with Lebanon Police Department at 541-258-4342, or Attorney General Communications Director Jenny Hansson with Oregon Department of Justice at 971-273-8498.
