(Seguin) –A month-long investigation into the operation of a local spa has resulted in the prostitution arrest of a 55-year-old Houston woman.
Seguin Police officials say over the course of that time, they were receiving complaints and tips that the business known as the Apple Spa, located at 1012 E. Court Street in Seguin, Texas, was operating as a prostitution establishment.
Investigation included surveillance on the business and determined that persons involved with the Apple Spa have a history involving prostitution in other communities.
Taken into custody on Thursday evening was Guiqiu Li, an Asian female, who reportedly worked as an employee at the Apple Spa.
Seguin Police Chief Terry Nichols says Li, who was arrested by members of the Guadalupe County Narcotics Task Force, was charged with prostitution, and booked into the Guadalupe County Jail.
“We take these complaints and tips very serious,” said Nichols. “We value the quality of life we enjoy in Seguin and will continue to make every effort to ensure businesses engaged in illegal activity like prostitution are closed swiftly and permanently.”
The Guadalupe County Narcotics Task Force is comprised of investigators from the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office, Seguin Police Department, and the Cibolo Police Department.
City of Seguin Code Enforcement, building officials, and the fire marshal also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation into the spa.
