Prostitution charges have been filed in an arrest at a local massage parlor.
Police Chief Carroll J. Stelly said officers executed a search warrant at Asian Spa Massage Parlor at 1405 The Boulevard at about 8:30 p.m. June 7.
The action followed a week-long investigation for prostitution related offenses, according to Stelly.
Officers arrested Zhou Xinfeng, 64, a permanent resident from the People’s Republic of China. Xinfeng was charged with prostitution by massage.
Stelly said the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are expected.
Acting on Stelly’s recommendation, the Rayne City Council Monday night suspended the occupational license of Asian Spa effective immediately “until further investigation into the charges my department has made on this establishment of prostitution and other, related offenses.”
Stelly continued, “If the outcome changes, we will instruct you further to the options they may have to continue business. I feel it is in the best interest of our community to not allow any further operation until this is settled.”
