A group of massage therapists in Florida have been arrested amid claims they offered to perform sex acts to undercover detectives during a two-day sting dubbed 'Operation Skin So Soft'. During the two-day operation, which began this past Monday, undercover detectives went to 22 different Asian massage parlors around Polk County to get massages from licensed therapists. But 20 of those women - who are all from the Republic of China - offered sex acts to the detectives completely unprompted. One of the women arrested was said to have 'tried to have full sex' with the detective even after he denied her advances. The name given to the sting - 'Operation Skin So Soft' - was inspired by a compliment given to an undercover officer while they were auditing the massage parlors. 'One of the ladies said "Oh, your skin's so soft. You must work inside,"' Grady Judd, the Polk County Sheriff, said in a press conference. 'Well, sometimes we work in massage parlors.' The large-scale investigation came after Polk County Police conducted an examination of 22 different massage parlors in the Davenport, Dundee, Lakeland and Winter Haven areas to make sure they were in compliance with the law. It was discovered that 12 out of the 22 establishments audited were allegedly participating in illegal activity, including prostitution. It led to the arrests of the women - three of whom were US citizens while the others were here on work visas. 'I don't think the federal government had in mine this kind of work when they gave them a work visa, but they're here anyway,' Judd stated. One of the women, Jinxia Huang, 37, charged $60 for what was supposed to be a legitimate massage.

Victims or operatives in a Chinese government spy/blackmail/leverage ring?
Actually crime does decrease if it is prosecuted.
ALL of them.
I grew up around organized crime.
NONE of these places are run by local non organized crime affilated guys.
Organized crime would take it from them in a second and also since the girls are forced to work there to pay off some “debt”, it would be hard for local guys to get girls to work there.
Albanian, Russian, Asian and even still some Italian organized crime groups are involved.
And they play for keeps.
Many many hours of acquiring evidence.
They are linked in to organized crime/human trafficking. Give them a break if they rat and testify against the traffickers. Then deport them.
We need a contest - How many of those beauties would Laz hit?
Finding prostituiton at Asian massage parlors? They must have needed an easy win to justify their budget.
Triads. I lived in China and they ran the “barber shops,” night clubs, and karaoke bars. One gang that I encountered would wear suits with white shoes. Hence, we called them the white shoes gang.
Nope... they are quiet and try to stay under the radar. They aren’t out carjacking people or robbing 7/11s. The trouble there mostly affects the participants, and their families back in the old country.
That is less important than crime more directly affecting normal Americans. Enforcement of DWI and street racing is even more important.
This is why the dimmer switch is mankind’s best invention.
Um.... I can’t think of a polite comment so I’m just going to shut up.
“How many of those beauties would Laz hit?”
You need to listen to Sheriff Grady’s report....these girls would hit laz!!! They were sexually attacking the undercover officers.

“Give them a break if they rat and testify against the traffickers. Then deport them.”
This of course, is the answer.

They all look... ...tired and sad.
