Three employees of Redlands’ Ace Care Massages have been arrested on charges of minor sex trafficking.
The last of them, manager Ji Chae, was arrested Nov. 3 after moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado. The first, Earnest Teamer, was arrested July 27. Manager-in-training Jasmine Beverly is also accused. Beverly and Teamer both pleaded not guilty. Chae has not yet been arraigned.
The massage parlor, now closed, is at the corner of Texas Street and West Colton Avenue.
The complaint references two victims, one 15 years old and the other 14 years old.
The sex trafficking charges are brought because the defendants are alleged to have driven the girls from their residences to the massage parlor.
Teamer, an alleged recruiter for the crimes, is also charged in a separate case alleging he also produced, distributed and received child pornography.
All three defendants are accused of taking money from the girls. Prosecutors claim Beverly took $10 per customer, while Teamer took $200 per week and Chae charged $2,000 in monthly rent for a room.
Teamer is held without bond, and Beverly is free on $15,000 bond.
Trial is scheduled for June 18.
