One of two women arrested for prostitution at massage spa submits guilty plea - The Quad-City Times

[mnews]

One of two women arrested for prostitution while working at a LeClaire massage spa in November has submitted a plea of guilty to the charge, according to Scott County District Court electronic records.


Xuemei Wu, 46, of Weston, Florida, through her attorney, Robert Bradfield, submitted a written plea of guilty on Tuesday to be considered by the court. She is requesting to be sentenced to deferred judgement.

The plea still must be approved by a judge.


Wu was arrested Nov. 19 along with Yalan Chen, 53, of San Jose, California, after the Scott County Sheriff's Department conducted a sting operation on the spa.


According to the arrest affidavits filed by Scott County Sheriff’s deputy Zachary Ahrens, the Scott County Sheriff’s Special Operations Unit was conducting an undercover operation at KT Rose Spa at 1007 Canal Shore Dr. SW in LeClaire after receiving complaints of sexual favors being offered during or after massages.

An agent acting undercover went to the business and met with Wu, telling her he wanted a half-hour massage. During the massage, Wu asked the agent if he wished to perform sexual acts with her and her co-worker, Chen. Wu then gave a price for the acts to occur.


During post-Miranda interviews, Chen denied any involvement in the business and stated she did not give any massages, and was purely here for “fun,” according to the affidavit. Chen could not elaborate on what that meant, according to the affidavits.


A confidential source, however, positively identified Chen as someone who had offered them sexual favors during a previous incident.


Wu did not wish to speak with agents.


A search warrant was obtained for the premises. In his affidavit, Ahrens said it was apparent that Wu and Chen were living within the premises.


A pretrial hearing for Chen is scheduled for May 29 in District Court.
