The women and the one man who worked for the spa were charged with felonies. They used kind of a loophole were if anyone derived income from the prostitution of another it is a felony. So, if a massage girl lets another massage girl rents a room in her home, she is guilty of a felony. From the mammasan to every massage provider they all helped each other out which is how the state can charge them with felonies. The man was charged with racketeering. I have no idea how they came up with that one. Personally, I think this was meant to pressure them into cooperating with the police and portray themselves as trafficking victims.
