A six-month investigation targeting prostitution at massage parlors in Lake Charles has led to the arrest of eleven individuals Thursday, according to KATC.
Officials say that during their investigation, it was learned that several of the businesses were operating under the pretenses of being a massage parlor but were actually being used for prostitution purposes.
A Lafayette woman arrested Feb. 12 in a crackdown on massage parlor prostitution was indicted Friday for human trafficking and pandering.
Eleven individuals at six massage parlors were arrested. The suspects were booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and released on misdemeanor summonses.
