Two suspects were arrested for allegedly offering prostitution services at their Riverside County massage parlor.

The suspects were identified as Li Guan, 40, from Monrovia, and Xao Tao, 47, from San Gabriel, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies received an anonymous tip that prostitution was reportedly occurring at a massage parlor located in the 27400 block of Jefferson Avenue in Temecula.

On Nov. 27, authorities from the sheriff’s department and the Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force served a search warrant at the business.

Evidence found at the scene led to the arrests of Guan and Tao. Both suspects were taken into custody for solicitation of prostitution and booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center. 

At least one victim discovered at the scene was offered resources and connected with victim advocate case managers.

“Human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation remain significant concerns in our community,” said the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. “These crimes often involve manipulation, coercion, and exploitation, leading victims to engage in illegal activities against their will.”

Authorities emphasized that human trafficking is not a “victimless” crime. 

“Research shows that a majority of trafficking victims are women or children, many of whom have histories of abuse or trauma,” officials said.

Any suspicious or criminal activity can be reported by calling Sheriff’s Dispatch at 951-776-1099 or 911 for an emergency. Anonymous tips can be provided to We-Tip at 1-800-782-7463 or online at wetip.com.
