YOUNGSTOWN — Shanshan Zhang, 36, Buford, Georgia, was indicted on two felony charges of promoting prostitution and possessing criminal tools and a misdemeanor of soliciting prostitution involving a Canfield foot spa and massage parlor that had been open a week.

Canfield police and agents from the Mahoning County Human Trafficking Task Force executed a search warrant at the Harmony Foot Spa, 445 W. Main St. in Canfield on Jan. 21 and arrested Zhang on charges of promoting prostitution and possession of criminal tools and misdemeanor solicitation.

A Canfield police report states that Sgt. Josh Wells of Canfield Police Department was informed Jan. 15 by Task Force Commander Maj. Jeff Allen of the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office that his team had found an online ad under the “Ohio-Youngstown-Female Escort” section of a website called “Skip the Games.” Allen told Wells the task force had already made an appointment for an undercover officer to check out the business.

That day, the report states, an officer entered the parlor for a foot massage and Allen reported back to Wells that a woman going by the name of Nina at Harmony Foot Spa solicited the officer for sex during the appointment. Police later identified that woman as Zhang.

On Jan. 16, a search warrant was prepared, which Judge Molly Johnson of Mahoning County Area Court in Canfield signed. The report states that the two law enforcement teams met at Canfield Police Department Jan. 16 to review their plans before a detective kept a 4 p.m. appointment at the spa, and other police followed him into the business.

The report states that Zhang was the only person there and was brought to the police department for an interview. She was charged and booked into Mahoning County jail.

Police returned to the business later and confiscated several phones, pads, computers, other digital devices, money and documents, all of which were logged into evidence, the report states.

Stephen Solic, owner of Solic Auctioneers, which is near the Harmony Foot Spa, said that staff at the spa had been discarding boxes, paint cans and furniture in Solic’s dumpster at the rear of the parking lot.

He said he had no idea the massage parlor was operating as a front for illicit activity but he is grateful police caught on quickly.

“It does make me feel better that they caught on that fast,” he said. “It just shows that someone is paying attention and that they care about this area.”

Solic said it is a relief that, if the charges are valid, that such a place is no longer operating so close to a school. Early Bird Learning Center is less than 50 yards away from where Harmony operated.
