-
- CHP ISU took one person into custody on prostitution charges.
CHP spokesperson Colton Rickard said the search warrant was served following an investigation by the Northern Division Investigative Services Unit in response to a complaint about labor violations.
“The investigation is ongoing, and one party was taken into custody following an interview with the Humboldt County District Attorney Victim Witness Advocacy Group,” Rickard said in an email to Redheaded Blackbelt.
The DA’s Victim Witness Advocacy Group provides support services to crime victims and witnesses.
Rickard said the investigation is independent and “not related to any other investigations in Humboldt County.”

Lots of public money wasted harassing a hard-working woman for engaging in consensual acts between adults with no actual victims involved…
You skipped the part about labor violations
The labor violation is that she was rubbing and tugging instead of doing one or the other
You missed the part about what the “labor violations” included, besides a ‘complaint”. Was it just a negotiated “labor” rate for a rub & tug? They need to come clean about the charges.
The bigger question would be, will Delin Liu name names of the men who use their services, because it takes two to Tango…
The real life client list
Are you worried? 😉
NO! But the men who frequent this establishment should be…
Selling sexual services should not be illegal.
What this country needs is a giant chain of:
McHandjobs!
One on every street!
Drive thru! Menus with clear prices!
If you are not lucky enough to have a partner, a reasonably priced sexual favor should be available!
It is never acceptable to misuse a woman against her will!
McHandjobs!
And change, back in your pocket!
I never saw that part. If she was being trafficked or forced then of course arrest the scum who is doing that. All I saw was misdemeanor for her…
The booking sheet lists Liu as a “he”.
We’re in confused times, but that doesn’t sound like a woman.
The booking log from the jail does not list the gender of those arrested. The AI compilation said “Released on his own recognizance” and I didn’t catch it. It has been changed to “their own recognizance”. I searched the arrest in Vinelink, which lists Liu as a 53-yr-old female.
I heard a dispute occurred over the amount of the bill when the client was forced, through no fault of his own, to end the massage prematurely. He considered the treatment very underhanded.
Sounds to me like someone wanted a happy ending, someone gave an outrageous price, and then someone got upset, then someone was told to GTFO.
Nothing in that scenario would seem to be something that would involve police at all much less merit a warrant and a search. Something else must be involved.
“keeping a disorderly house, ”
..damn, never knew that was a thing.

Read running a prostitution house, pimping with a side of human trafficking.
Yeah!! I think half the county is guilty of that crime!!
A cop must have gone in during his “coffee break” and was told by the masseuse, “you no beaucoup! No boom-boom for you!
Poor, indentured, trafficked, illegal immigrant definitely rubbed the police the wrong way.
The arrested was running the house. Not likely poor nor trafficked but extorting and trafficking others. In Humboldt Co, no one is allowed to ask if illegal so speculation on that is free. The rest is still in play.
That is what I thought to and she is probably being paid to run the house. I hope the women get assistance if they were trafficked. And yes name the list of customers. They did commit a crime right
We should know if men in our community are complicit in the abuse, harm, and coercion of vulnerable people.
Kinda weird… that highway patrol unit is a bit ‘top secret’.
Local LEO’s are often not notified about their actions.
Single person, all misdemeanors… released on ‘O/R’.
Like I said LOTS of public resources spent for a misdemeanor charge on a mutually consenting arrangement between adults. Can we please focus our efforts on big and truly important issues?
💯
Love ya long time Joe !
🤔 🧐 ,
A “PRESS RELEASE”-“PRESS RELEASE”…???
LOL…
Pay your “employees” when your involved in illegal business or face retribution and poss charges.
