WICHITA, Kan. – The owner of a Wichita massage parlor was charged Friday in federal court with harboring a Chinese woman who worked as a prostitute, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
Grissom said in a news release 60-year-old Samir F. Elias of Wichita is charged with one count of transporting an alien who is in the United States unlawfully, one count of harboring an alien who is in the United States unlawfully, one count of harboring an alien for the purpose for prostitution and two counts of money laundering.
The charges allege Elias was the owner of GiGi’s Elite Massage. The business operated in the 300 block of N. Hillside after moving from a previous location in the 6600 block of E. Central.
Grissom said Elias employed a Chinese woman who used the name Angel. An undercover vice detective with the Wichita Police Department arrested the woman after she offered to perform sexual services during a massage.
During the investigation, Grissom said it was learned that the woman lived at the massage parlor or at times at Elias’ home. He said she usually worked seven days a week, had no formal training in how to give a massage, and was paid $40 for 30 minutes and $60 for an hour of massage.
Grissom said the woman paid Elias $10 of the fee for the $40 massage and $20 of the fee for the $60 massage. He said she was allowed to keep her tips.
The woman was convicted in Wichita municipal court on a charge of sale of sexual relations. She is appealing the conviction.
If the woman is convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on counts 1, 2 and 3, and a maximum penalty of 20 years and a fine up $500,000 on counts 4 and 5.
