Three arrests were made for misdemeanor solicitation charges, according to officials. Witnesses reported police activity to KHTS at around p. There was also activity seen at the block of Bouquet Canyon Road. The operation was part of a series of inspections with inspectors from the City of Santa Clarita and investigators from the California Employment Development Department EDD to conduct investigations at three Santa Clarita massage businesses.
The investigations, which included agents operating in an undercover capacity, were initiated in response to complaints from the community that commercial sex acts were being committed at some of the massage businesses. At each of the three locations deputies, posing as customers, were solicited by employees of the massage parlors to exchange money for sex acts.
Inspectors from the City of Santa Clarita inspected the locations for building code violations. Investigators from the State EDD reviewed the businesses for compliance with State employment regulations. Task Force members checked the businesses for indicators related to either sex or labor trafficking. The Task Force is a collaboration of federal, state, county and local law enforcement, social service agency and non-government and community-based organizations investigating and serving the needs of commercially exploited adults and minors victimized for the purpose of sex and labor.
The task force employs a regionalized strategy that crosses jurisdictional boundaries to identify and rescue victims while aggressively pursuing traffickers and buyers.
