One Passion worker, who said she was the only employee there who spoke English, admitted to an inspector that employees often slept overnight at the business but did not live there, according to court documents.

At Jasmine, there were also several mattresses and personal items in some of the rooms, according to an affidavit. At Charming, which also operated as Blue Star, mattresses were on the floors of some rooms, and massage tables were in others.

On Wednesday, Yenrudee Anuson, 44, and Charming owner Josip Maric, 42, were arrested at a home in Commerce. Pornthipa Khan, 54, who owns Passion X and Jasmine, was arrested in Honolulu Wednesday, and Steven Eix, 53, was arrested in Lewisville.

All four were charged with aggravated promotion of prostitution.

Officials took several people into custody at the northwest Dallas building and are working to determine whether they are victims of sex trafficking. Any victims will be provided support services.
