Prostitution, Pimping, and Soliciting

Warrant Recalled for Woman Charged With Human Trafficking June 3, 2026 In December of 2025, police in a suburban Boston town conducted a sting operation to infiltrate a human trafficking operation. An undercover officer entered a “massage” establishment. Purportedly, an employee offered him a hand job for $60 and, alternatively, oral sex for $100. The undercover officer declined but asked to arrange for full sex on another day. He was directed to the front desk where he made a reservation. Armed with this information the police obtained a search warrant that was executed the next day. In the course of the search a woman identified as the owner of the establishment was interviewed. Just a few days later she was charged with deriving support from a prostitute, G.L. c. 272 section 7, keeping a house of prostitution, G.L. c. 272 section 24 and trafficking a person for sexual servitude, also known as human trafficking, G.L. c. 265 section 50. Rather than summons the woman the police obtained an arrest warrant. However, unbeknownst to the officers the woman went home to China to visit family. She did not know about the warrant for several months. Fully intending to honor her obligations to the legal system the woman purchased an airline ticket back to the United States. Fearing that the pending warrant would result in her arrest at the airport she hired our office. Today, we succeeded in getting the warrant vacated. The woman does not have to worry about being arrested upon her arrival. Read More in Sex Crimes
