The operation started in 2015, MBI agents were going undercover in the massage parlors and said they found women offering sex for somewhere around $50 to $150 depending on the service.
The MBI arrested the couple who were the manger and operators of the business.
On Wednesday, Ian and Kim Ngoc-thi Sokolitsky were booked into the Orange County Jail.
