Two women were arrested on charges of prostitution at local massage parlors… one for a third time in just over two years.

Recently, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office has received anonymous tips about illegal sexual activity occurring in a pair of local massage parlors. Based on these tips, the CCSO Narcotics and Warrants units arranged an operation at the businesses, which took place on December 4, 2024.

During the operation, undercover detectives entered Calla Massage, located at 2191 Tamiami Trail, and Golden Massage, located at 4120 Tamiami Trail (both in Port Charlotte). In each location, the detectives entered with enough cash to pay for a massage plus extra for any additional “services” offered.

At Calla Massage, the detective was greeted by Qiangwei Dong (01/08/1974). During the massage, Dong was asked about tipping, to which she replied, “How much?”. The detective and Dong discussed different dollar amounts, with her making gestures each time of what that amount would get him. The detective asked outright if $200 would get him sex, and Dong responded with a yes. After receiving the money, Dong began to undress, and other deputies entered the massage parlor. Seeing this, Dong attempted to flee out the rear of the business, but deputies were able to take her into custody. This is the third prostitution-related arrest of Qiangwei Dong in 25 months, escalating her charges to a third-degree felony.

At Golden Massage, an undercover detective received a massage from a woman who identified herself as Xiaomen Li (11/26/1977). During that massage, Li agreed to perform a sex act for the amount of $180.00. After Li was given the money, deputies entered the establishment and placed her under arrest.

“I want to thank the community members who provided the tips to us about these establishments, as well as my Narcotics and Warrants teams for putting a stop to this activity. I encourage Charlotte County residents and guests to utilize reputable massage services, which are not hard to find. In my opinion, a ‘happy ending’ would be businesses like these closing up shop and getting out of our town.”
