ASHTABULA, Ohio (WJW) — A local massage parlor suspected of “illegal activity” was raided by the Northeast Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force and the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office, according to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
The task force executed a search warrant at the Aloha Spa, 2048 E. Prospect Road in Ashtabula, on Tuesday, Yost said.
