Woman Who Ran Spa Pleads 'Not Guilty'

Oasis Spa in Natick that allegedly held "sex slaves" is closed.

A local woman pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges this week, according to the Associated Press and WBZ-TV.

Shixin Zhang, 45, operated the Oasis Spa in Natick and allegedly forced women from China to perform sex acts in the spa.

WBZ-TV, as part of an I-Team investigation, first revealed the problems at the spa – and others around Massachusetts – in a report in November.
