The City of Plano, teamed with the local police force, is cracking down on illicit sexual activity disguised as legitimate massage therapy. The city has filed for pre-suit discovery against the owners of Red Rose Spa. According to a Facebook post by the Plano Police Department, the spa is believed to be a front for illegal operations, and now, after past investigations have come up short of shuttering the business, legal efforts are intensifying.
The spa, located at 1301 Custer Road and operating under various names including Red Rose Foot Spa and Beauty K Spa, seems to have continued its questionable activities unabated. Advertisements for the spa lured in customers with suggestive images of young girls and authorities believe the female employees might also be living at their workplace - a strong indicator of human trafficking.
In the bid to peel back the enterprise's respectable veneer, the pre-suit discovery seeks to gather proof that could lay bare the shadowy network of individuals controlling or benefiting from this sex trade. The City of Plano's move as per Rule 202 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure aims at holding all involved parties, from owners to patrons, legally accountable.
Last year, a similar action resulted in the shuttering of Tennyson Wellness Center, a move hailed as a victory by the plaintiff and local law enforcement. The city is taking an aggressive stance against such establishments, sending a clear message that any involvement in sex crimes will face severe consequences. Plano is determined to deploy its full arsenal of criminal and civil measures to protect the community and target those profiting from illegal activities.
For those seeking more information or wishing to view the Rule 202 Petition, the document has been made public and can be accessed through the Plano Police Department's online announcement. This legal push by the city underscores an unyielding commitment to eradicate the blighted corners of the community where the exploitation of vulnerable individuals is bought and sold under the guise of wellness and healing.
