BATON ROUGE - Three people accused of running illegal massage parlors in East Baton Rouge Parish were arrested Tuesday. 

Two people who were arrested, 66-year-old Guangdong Bai and 65-year-old Yue Ying Jiang, are accused of promoting prostitution at Oriental Relax Spa on Coursey Boulevard.  

According to a warrant, the Louisiana Board of Massage Therapy issued Bai a cease-and-desist order in 2014 because of illicit ads posted about the business. Online posts on known illicit sites said, "If you're feeling stressed out, sore or overworked... come and let us relax your body," the affidavit said. 

An inspection found multiple beds, sofas, showers, a full kitchen and a laundry room in the building. 

The warrant said the massage board sent more cease-and-desist orders that were not followed, and the business continued to operate under fake licenses and certifications continuing into 2025. 

During surveillance, an EBRSO deputy said they saw a man leaving the business "buttoning his shirt sleeves and adjusting the belt on his pants." At the time, the business was unlicensed, but an open sign was on in the window. 

The pair were arrested alongside Wenming Zou, 62, who was reportedly one of multiple people running All-Natural Spa on O'Neal Lane, an unlicensed massage business. 

An affidavit says that deputies raided the business in 2025 and found that a Chinese woman who was in the country illegally was living there. She was arrested for promoting prostitution.

The document says that Zou owned the business and had been previously arrested in Texas and Lake Charles for prostitution. 

Zou, Bai and Jiang were booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for promoting prostitution, pandering and operating a massage parlor without a license. 

Their arrests are the latest in an investigation into illegal massage parlors in East Baton Rouge Parish. In 2025, 10 Chinese women were taken into custody by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement after a raid of nine business in the area.
