SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Sentencing has been set for a massage parlor owner who pleaded guilty to human trafficking.
The Utah Attorney General's Office says 30-year-old Luis Daniel Arano-Hernandez pleaded guilty in May to coercing a 17-year-old girl and her mother into prostituting themselves at a Salt Lake City massage parlor.
Sentencing for Arano-Hernandez is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Prosecutors say he is in the country illegally.
He was arrested in November along with three other men after an eight month investigation. Agents performed raids on four Salt Lake City-area "reiki" massage parlors that day.
Court documents show some of the women used as prostitutes at the massage parlor were under 18 and in the country illegally.
