The recent arrest of the New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, is bringing to light the sordid underground world of local neighborhood massage parlors where women from China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and other countries are lured to the U.S., often with legal visas, with promises of a better life, and then forced into modern day slavery by human traffickers.

The Orchids of Asia Day Spa, where Mr. Kraft allegedly solicited prostitution, is now the focus of a large-scale sex trafficking investigation by the Jupiter (Florida) Police Department. The investigation was triggered by numerous complaints by concerned citizens, as well as online reviews.

According to police, the victims averaged eight clients a day. They were forced to live in the spas for days, sometimes months, for the purpose of sexual servitude. Many of them came from China on temporary work visas, believing they'd get legitimate jobs in the U.S.
