A grand jury has indicted three people who allegedly ran a 鈥渓arge sex trafficking operation鈥 out of massage parlors around Albuquerque. 

Yufang Bao

Yufang Bao, 58, John Tunney, 72 and Guanxiang Wang, 25, were indicted on April 16 on multiple charges related to human trafficking, prostitution and racketeering.

Tunney and Wang have not yet been detained, said Nancy Laflin, spokesperson for the Bernalillo County District Attorney鈥檚 Office.

Bao, she said, is believed to be the ringleader of the operation. A judge ordered her to be remanded into custody on Thursday.

鈥淭his was not a spur-of-the-moment crime, nor a crime of desperation,鈥 states a pretrial detention motion for Bao. 鈥淚nstead, it is a litany of crimes being conducted by and in furtherance of an illicit enterprise intent on making money by exploiting women and forcing them to engage in sex.鈥

John Tunney

Graham Dumas, an attorney for Wang, said that he would not be able to comment on the case because state investigators have not turned over any evidence, witness information or other relevant documents.

鈥淭he state is not obligated to turn over discovery until Monday. 鈥 However, the lack of evidence is really hamstringing me at this point in refuting the prosecution鈥檚 contentions about the nature of my client鈥檚 involvement or lack thereof,鈥 he said.

Bao and Tunney鈥檚 lawyers did not respond to calls for comment.

The investigation began in July 2025.

Investigators with the New Mexico Organized Crime Commission were alerted to an anonymous tip of suspicious activity at a massage parlor at 1515 Eubank in Northeast Albuquerque, according to the motion.

Agents investigated the property and saw activity 鈥渃onsistent with commercial sexual activity," such as abnormal business hours and only male clientele. 

Agents noticed that employees at the business never left the property and had personal items 鈥 including food and hygiene products 鈥 dropped off at the parlor, the motion states. It was later learned that the employees were living at the businesses.

Agents went undercover and saw that employees were dressed in lingerie and would attempt to touch them 鈥渋nappropriately,鈥 according to the motion. Upon leaving, one agent was given a business card to another massage parlor at 2828 Carlisle in Northeast Albuquerque. 

鈥淎gain, surveillance and undercover activity revealed that it appeared to be a front for a brothel,鈥 the motion states.

Investigators were able to determine six massage parlors and several homes were owned or operated by Bao or Tunney, according to the motion. Agents obtained a search warrant for the parlors and found large amounts of condoms, lingerie, lubricants and sex toys.  

鈥淥CC investigators suspect the locations were being used to traffic women, believed to be Asian migrants, who were forced to perform sex acts,鈥 Laflin said in a Friday news release.

Agents spoke with one of the employees, who said that she had been taken to a home that over 20 women had come in and out of that night, the motion states. The woman told agents that Bao refused to pay her and said the woman had to 鈥渨ork for her money,鈥 which she believed meant prostitution. 

Agents spoke with another woman, who said that she believed she would only provide massages when she took the job.

鈥淗owever, upon starting work she was forced to perform sexual acts and found herself beaten, restrained, and struck in order to get her to perform sex acts,鈥 according to the motion. 

Agents searched Bao鈥檚 home 鈥 in the 9000 block of Lorelei Lane in Northeast Albuquerque 鈥 and found approximately $90,000 in cash buried in the backyard and an estimated 1,700 condoms hidden in a storage shed, Laflin said.

鈥淒ismantling operations like this one is exactly what the Organized Crime Commission was created to do 鈥 and it鈥檚 part of our broader strategy to make the state safer for every New Mexican,鈥 said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. 鈥淲e stand with the victims in this case and are committed to seeing it prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.鈥
