Ventura County woman accused of running brothels disguised as beauty spas
Briefly

Detectives began looking into Swan Spa in Thousand Oaks earlier this year after suspecting employees were selling sex services to customers. This led to the arrest of the owner, Amanda Xia, on multiple charges.
Sheriff's detectives identified multiple male individuals who were allegedly purchasing commercial sex at the four locations under investigation, illustrating the scale of the illicit activities associated with these establishments.
Amanda Xia, 44, who owned Swan Spa and three other similarly masqueraded businesses, faces serious charges such as pimping and money laundering, underscoring the illegal operations concealed as legitimate services.
