Two women have been arrested for prostitution following a months-long undercover operation at an Aiken massage parlor, authorities said Wednesday.
The operation targeted Golden Fingers Massage Parlor, located in Suite B of 655 Silver Bluff Road in Aiken. The investigation began following numerous public tips alleging that the business was offering sexual services in exchange for payment, according to Lt. Jennifer Hayes of the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
On Monday, an undercover operation was conducted and police obtained a search warrant for the business. As a result, two employees, Zhaoai Chen, 39, and Jinlan Sun, 39, were arrested and charged with prostitution and incarcerated in the Aiken County Detention Center. They remained there Wednesday.
Additionally, City of Aiken Business Licensing was contacted and advised this business is not acting in accordance with the laws of South Carolina or the ordinances of the City of Aiken. The Aiken Department of Public Safety was assisted in this investigation by South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division and Homeland Security Investigations.
