Salem Police Dismantle Human Trafficking Ring: Three Arrested, Victims Rescued

Salem police have dismantled a human trafficking ring operating out of local bodywork and spa spots, arresting three individuals and rescuing victims. Peter Leavitt and Fang Liu from Peabody, and Barry St. Onge from Shrewsbury, face charges including trafficking people for sexual servitude, profiting off prostitution, and running houses of ill repute at New Custom Body Work and Red Rose Reflexology. The investigation began in January with undercover surveillance, revealing workers locked down and forced into prostitution. Police Chief Lucas Miller emphasized zero tolerance for exploiting victims. Fang Liu, known as CoCo, was identified as the ringleader. All three were arraigned and pleaded not guilty, with Leavitt and Liu held on $35,000 bail each, and St. Onge on $40,000.
