The Collier County Sheriff’s Office arrested 11 people following a massage parlor bust.

Deputies arrested Anna Dai, Fang Fang He, Qun Jiang, Joong Kim, Xuan Li, You Lijing, Pingchuan Rotondi, Jing Wang, Liyan Wang, Daisy Yang, and Sanyun Zeng on Tuesday on various charges including violating a new Florida law. It requires the businesses to keep a log of customers and check identification.

According to deputies, an investigation led by the Florida Department of Health was conducted on ten businesses.

All ten businesses were cited with health code violations.

  • Elle and Ella Spa/Healthy Spa, 12980 U.S. 41 N. in Naples
  • Nini Asian Spa, 13500 U.S. 41 N. in Naples  
  • Sincere 4U Spa, 13800 U.S. 41 N. in Naples

According to the DOH, in 20 regulatory cases, two cease-and-desist orders were issued, and two cease-desist orders are pending.

House Bill 197, or the Health Care Practitioners and Massage Therapy Bill, was signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.

The bill requires the state to suspend the licenses of massage therapists and massage establishments if any employee of a massage therapist or establishment is arrested for any illicit offenses, including having sex with minors, prostitution, kidnapping, or false imprisonment.

The law was taken into effect on July 1.
