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.
