Owner Of Stoneham Massage Parlor Charged With Sex Trafficking

BOSTON, MA — A Quincy man appeared in court Friday on allegations that he trafficked women at a residential brothel in Allston and an advertised massage parlor in Stoneham, Attorney General Maura Healey announced.

Geekin Ng, 59, of Quincy, was arrested on Wednesday without incident in Allston and charged with trafficking of persons for sexual servitude and keeping a house of ill fame. He was arraigned Friday in Brighton District Court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to the AG's office.

Ng was ordered held on $250,000 cash. If he makes bail, he must surrender his passport and be subject to GPS monitoring.

Authorities say Ng ran a profitable and organized criminal enterprise through a residential brothel in Allston and Lucky Star Body Work in Stoneham, which were set up as fronts for human trafficking. At these locations, Ng allegedly offered sexual activity between women and buyers in exchange for a fee. He delivered food and other supplies to the locations and advertised sexual services to buyers.

Ng allegedly received the majority of the profits from these sexual encounters, according to the AG's office.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Ng is due back in court for a June 27 probable cause hearing.
