Two Arrested for Prostitution and Money Laundering at Opelousas, Louisiana Massage Parlor

Two women were arrested this week at the Green Spa in Opelousas, Louisiana after authorities received multiple complaints alleging the women were involved in a prostitution operation.

St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz released the following statement regarding the investigation and subsequent arrests:

During the last several months, the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office had received numerous citizen complaints regarding the business identified as Green Spa located at 628 Creswell Lane Opelousas, Louisiana. The complainants advised female employees were engaging in sexual acts for money.

St. Landry Parish narcotics detectives assisted by St. Landry Parish Criminal Investigation Division executed a search warrant at the business on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

During the search warrant execution, detectives detained two females identified as Xiaoxia Li A.K.A Yuang Yong and Luyanxing Couras. A male was questioned at the scene but released.

The investigation revealed that the women were operating a house of prostitution disguised as a legitimate massage parlor. After conducting interviews with several customers, detectives learned that the women were soliciting customers to perform a variety of sexual acts for cash.

An ATM was conveniently located in the lobby of the business, so customers could obtain cash to pay for the sexual acts.

Authorities said the two women were not very cooperative with the investigation and claimed to speak very limited English.

They were both booked into the St. Landry Parish Jail and later bonded out.
