Woman Charged With Human Trafficking at Windsor Locks Spa

Chun Lan Tam Wang is accused of holding a female victim against her will and forcing her to perform sex acts on customers.

A 38-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday evening on charges of holding another woman against her will and forcing her to perform sex acts at a recently-opened spa in Windsor Locks.

Chun Lan Tam Wang is charged with human trafficking, second-degree promoting prostitution, second-degree unlawful restraint, cruelty to persons, second-degree breach of peace and second-degree threatening. She was held on $250,000 bond.

Around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Windsor Locks police were called to the Century Spa at 5 National Drive, off Halfway House Road, upon a report of a disturbance. With the assistance of Homeland Security agents, an investigation determined a Chinese woman who spoke little English had been held against her will at the business for the past two weeks, Capt. Chester Degray said.

The victim told police she had been lured to the business from New York, and upon arriving, Wang refused to allow her to leave or contact anyone for help. Wang allegedly told the victim that she could make money for food by performing certain sexual acts on customers of the spa, Degray said.

Politicians are not CEOs. Elected officials are not CEOs. The comparison is not appropriate, butRead More it does fit with Mr. Morici's misplaced CEO worship. The criticisms may be valid, but they must be examined as political or legal criticisms. The government as a business comparison only increases the power of the corporate state. I also note that Mr. Morici's credo which he attributes to President Obama, "We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can" is a very accurate portrayal of predatory capitalism.

Maria, your dismissive and divisive 'analysis' ignores the fact that POTUS is anRead More "executive" position, also "Commander-in-Chief" of the military! O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.
