Sacramento Escorts: Lodi massage businesses targeted in federal search
Federal and local investigators descended on two Lodi massage businesses Thursday, searching them after two people were indicted on prostitution and money laundering charges.
Prosecutors allege that the businesses are fronts for prostitution and are part of a string of massage parlors stretching from Lodi to Washington. The owners, 48-year-old Tham Nguyen and 51-year-old Suong Tran, were arrested Thursday in their home town of Burien, Wash., said an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman based in Seattle.
The businesses searched were Aah Spa, 20 N. Cherokee Lane, and Valley Spa, 321 N. California St.
