Several months ago, Human Trafficking detectives assigned to the PANT (Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking) task force became aware of illegal sexual acts occurring at a massage parlor in the City of Prescott. PANT, working in partnership with Homeland Security Investigation agents and the Prescott Police Department, served a search warrant at approximately 3:30 pm on Wednesday June 12th, at the “Perfect Spa,” which is located at 530 S. Montezuma Street. Evidence collected throughout the investigation resulted in 64-year-old Yuzhen Qi, being arrested for several felony charges. Those charges include pandering, transporting a person for the purpose of prostitution, and operating a house/enterprise of prostitution. There is still an active investigation, including an investigation into other massage parlors in which Yuzhen Qi is operating in the State of Arizona. YCSO is also asking the public for any additional leads involving human trafficking.
