Why is there only one human trafficking charge in Florida massage parlor busts
VERO BEACH, Fla. – Only one person has been charged with human trafficking in connection with prostitution in Florida massage parlors, despite multiple agencies linking the 10 spas shut down this month to Chinese sex trafficking."It's very difficult to charge somebody with that," acknowledged Detective Sgt. Phil Huddy, who supervises the detective division at the Vero Beach Police Department.
The women were trapped in the spa, living in a small room with two mattresses on two-by-fours, using a makeshift shower and cooking in a small unsanitary room, Huddy said. "It takes time," he said."We have to keep this investigation going because it takes us so long to establish a human trafficking charge."
Police are now following that money, poring over records to determine what happened to it and building evidence to ultimately seize any funds they can.
