Two women arrested after undercover prostitution investigation at South Nashville massage parlor, police say

Arrests follow undercover operation at Jasmine Spa on Grandview Avenue

Two women were arrested Tuesday, February 24, 2026, following an undercover investigation into alleged prostitution activity at a South Nashville massage business identified as Jasmine Spa on Grandview Avenue. Police reported that the investigation was launched after receiving multiple complaints about the location.

Authorities said an undercover detective entered the business and agreed to pay $260 for “sex and a massage.” The operation resulted in the arrests of Fang Chen, 60, and Qunhua Luo, 43. Police reported that $14,000 in cash was seized from the business during the enforcement action.

Charges filed and initial court timeline

Police said Chen was cited for prostitution. Luo was charged with impersonating a licensed professional. Luo posted bail early Wednesday, February 25, 2026, and is scheduled to appear in court on April 17, 2026. No additional court dates were immediately detailed for Chen in the information released.

How this case fits a broader enforcement pattern in South Nashville

The Jasmine Spa case comes amid other recent enforcement actions involving massage businesses in South Nashville and surrounding areas where investigators have alleged sexual services were being offered for money and where authorities have also emphasized licensing compliance. In a separate Metro Nashville investigation dated January 21, 2026, police reported that an undercover operation at a spa on Nolensville Pike led to search warrants at both a business and a residence, along with arrests on charges including prostitution, impersonating a licensed professional, and promoting prostitution.

Those earlier actions involved a different business and different defendants, but reflect an investigative approach that repeatedly combines undercover visits with execution of search warrants when investigators believe criminal activity is occurring.
