One tenant, a massage parlor, was of special interest to police, who launched a weeks-long investigation into the establishment in February.

Over the course of the probe, police say they identified Juan Wang and her husband Joseph Emery, who are listed as tenants on a lease agreement for Jade Massage Therapy LLC, as suspects in the alleged prostitution operation.

Contact information for the couple led to ads for their business on the website Backpage.com, KVUE reported. 

After stakeouts in March, investigators found two men outside a location connected to the couple who allegedly told them they paid for a massage plus a sexual favor, according to the affidavit.

On March 22, Austin police raided another location connected with the couple, where they say they found Wang and another woman in a massage room with nude men.
