Massage parlors operated by Chinese triads have sprung up across Kansas, and these locations have become fertile ground for human trafficking, according to Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.).

“We now have more massage parlors than we do Starbucks coffee cafes,” Mr. Marshall told The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet NTD on March 6. “And, of course, human trafficking is coming in behind this.”
