San Mateo police arrested the owner of a massage parlor on suspicion of prostitution and of running a brothel, police said in a news release Tuesday.
After earlier incidents in which undercover officers sought massages and were offered sex for money, police served a search warrant Friday at the business, located in the 100 block of De Anza Boulevard.
Police determined that the owner, a 43-year-old San Jose man, negotiated sexual acts for money and arrested her on suspicion of prostitution and maintaining a brothel.
Police said they also provided human trafficking resources to the man and an employee at the scene.
The news release included resources for the public if they believe someone may be a victim of human trafficking: National Human Trafficking Hotline: https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en; San Mateo County Human Trafficking Program: https://stophumantraffickingsmc.org/what-is-human-trafficking-2/.
