A Brooklyn, New York man is facing several charges connected with an alleged illicit massage parlor in Lewiston.

Police had been investigating the parlor on Sabattus Street since March, according to a news release.

Police searched the parlor and found two suspected human trafficking victims, the release stated.

Investigators also found video recording equipment, condoms, and more than $12,000 in suspected sex trafficking proceeds.

The alleged owner, Richard Qiu, “is associated with several massage parlors throughout Maine,” the release stated.

Qiu was indicted by a grand jury in July. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Boston on Sept. 6. Bail was set at $100,000.

Qiu is charged with sex trafficking, forced labor and criminal forfeiture of property, according to the release.

“The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Services assisted in providing victim services to the trafficking victims,” the release stated.
