In the above time frame, the defendant owned and operated two illicit massage businesses in Iowa CIty, Paradise Spa locations at 1901 Broadway St. Suite 2,
Iowa City, IA and 805 S. 1st Ave Suite 3, Iowa City, IA. During this time period, the defendant has had numerous female workers inside the business. During
interviews these workers stated they receive $70 per/hour massage, $40 goes to the defendant, and $10 is paid for "room and board." The female workers work
7 days a week, 9:00am-10:30pm. The female workers have never been observed by investigators outside the businesses in public.
During the investigation numerous males were interviewed after leaving the Spas. These individuals admitted to receiving sex acts, from workers, including the
defendant, in violation of Chapter 725 of the Iowa Code. Others reported being offered sex acts for extra money during their massages. During the investigative
period a sexual assault was reported to have occurred at 1901 Broadway Suite 2 location, where codefendant (Zhenshi Liu) sexually assaulted a customer
against their will.
In the above period, the defendant, with the use of co-conspirators, illegally laundered approximately 2.6 million U.S. Dollars, which were proceeds of the illegal
operation. The defendant uses co-conspirators to launder cash obtained by the parlors, mixing cash and check deposits to avoid transaction reporting
requirements. The defendant and co-conspirators also laundered proceeds of the illegal operation by the purchase of two residential properties in cash for
$941,342.01, plus the cash purchase of vehicles.
