Ezell says there was an element of human trafficking going on there — prostitution.
He says deputies, along with the district attorney’s office and other agencies, have been investigating the massage parlor for more than a year.
Officials say more arrests may come out of the investigation as authorities comb through records and other evidence found at the business.
