Linian Song, the owner of two wellness spas in Western New York, is facing federal charges for allegedly operating a prostitution business across the region. It is reported that Song used S Wellness Spa in Rochester and New Elegant Shiatsu in Lockport for commercial sex acts and promoted the services online. Customers who were stopped by investigators claimed they paid for massages but received sexual acts performed by spa employees.
Song was arrested during an FBI raid at the Lockport spa and is now facing charges of knowingly using a facility in interstate commerce with the intent to manage a prostitution business. The criminal complaint was filed in Buffalo federal court on Monday. According to the accusations, Song used the spas for illegal activities and promoted the services through online platforms. Customers have reported paying for massages but receiving sexual acts from spa employees.
The investigation into Song and his businesses has led to his arrest and federal charges regarding operating a prostitution business using the wellness spas in Rochester and Lockport. Allegations include the use of Backpage-type websites to advertise services and provide commercial sex acts to customers. The federal charges have been filed in Buffalo federal court, and the case is ongoing.
Linian Song, a prominent figure in Rochester’s wellness industry, has found himself at the center of a high-profile investigation into prostitution operations across Western New York. The allegations against him are serious, but he maintains his innocence.
According to sources close to the case, investigators believe that Song used S Wellness Spa and New Elegant Shiatsu as fronts for his illegal activities.
