GEORGETOWN, Texas — In collaboration with local and federal law enforcement, the Attorney General’s Office announced the conclusion of a seven-month investigation that resulted in the arrests of 13 people allegedly involved in prostitution and human trafficking in Texas.

The investigation began after the Georgetown Police Department and Attorney General Paxton’s office received a complaint about illegal activity at a massage parlor in Georgetown.

The Bell County Organized Crime Unit coordinated the execution of seven search warrants at massage parlors in Temple, Killeen and Harker Heights, resulting in six arrests: Yajuan Song and Yan Huang were charged with prostitution; Yuhan Zhang was charged with aggravated promotion of prostitution. Xiao Xin Zhang, Qian Xinghua and Axia Sun face massage therapy owner violations.
