LEWISTON (WGME) โ A New York man who owns massage parlors in Maine is accused of using at least one of them for sex trafficking.
Richard Qiu of Brooklyn is facing charges including sex trafficking and forced labor.
Police say they found out in March that he was using his massage parlor on Hartley Street in Lewiston for sex trafficking.
Investigators say they found two sex trafficking victims at the property, along with condoms, video recording equipment and $12,000 in sex trafficking money.
A grand jury indicted Qiu in July, and U.S Marshals caught him in Boston Friday.
Police say he's associated with several massage parlors in Maine, including one in Bath.
