Four Chinese nationals who own and operate a group of Asian massage parlors in Johnson County, Kansas, were charged in federal court today with transporting people across state lines and national borders for the purpose of prostitution. U.S. Attorney John F. Wood, Western District of Missouri, announced today's charges. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and other local and state agencies investigated the case.
