FBI, Lauderhill PD Break Up Prostitution Operation at Spa 4

Saixiong Ye {BSO}

A spa owner faces felony charges after investigators discovered the business was operating as a front for a prostitution ring.

Arrest records show that authorities from the Lauderhill Police Department and the FBI Human Trafficking Task Force arrested Saixiong Ye, 55, of Margate, on May 15, after executing a human-trafficking investigation at Cure Spa—legally registered as Luck Spa Inc.—located at 4656 North University Drive.

The investigation details how the operation, initiated after online advertisements on adultsearch.com and skipthegames.com depicting nude women soliciting sex services, uncovered evidence that the facility was being used to profit from prostitution.

According to a Lauderhill PD affidavit, law enforcement officers responded to Cure Spa and found Ye inside the business. An FBI-provided Chinese translator conducted an interview and confirmed that Ye owned and operated the establishment.

Investigators determined that Ye paid a third party $500 per month to place ads offering commercial sex services, and that her photograph and alias “Lisa Baby” were used in text messages negotiating prices with clients.

Records also show that on the premises was Ye’s husband, who was reportedly suffering from dementia and “being taken advantage of” by Ye, according to statements from his daughter.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified and has placed a detainer on Ye, who holds a Chinese passport and an Employment Authorization work permit.

Ye was arrested and transported to the Broward County Main Jail.
