The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office Vice Unit conducted a two-day undercover operation beginning Monday, November 4, 2024, which resulted in the arrest of 21 individuals.
 
Undercover detectives went to various massage parlors in the Davenport, Dundee, Lakeland, and Winter Haven areas of Polk County to purchase lawful massages from licensed massage therapists. During these massages, twenty of the massage therapists offered to commit sexual acts for money during the sessions. One suspect, Jinxia Huang, battered the undercover detective when he denied her advances. Another suspect, Xiu Lin, was arrested outside of a massage parlor for resisting arrest due to interfering while detectives placed another woman under arrest for prostitution.
 
\u201cWe want our communities to be safe and free from illegal activities, and criminals who take advantage of people. These arrests are part of our ongoing efforts to hold those who break the law accountable. We\u2019re focused on keeping our neighborhoods safe, and we\u2019ll keep cracking down on businesses that operate outside the law.\u201d \u2013 Grady Judd, Sheriff
