In late May 2023, two individuals were arrested in San Jose under suspicion of running brothels as part of a national operation, Operation Coast to Coast, that focused on illegal massage businesses. The suspects, identified as a 39-year-old woman from Cupertino and a 45-year-old man from Rosemead, were taken into custody by detectives from the human trafficking task force. The operation led to a wider effort involving 157 law enforcement agencies across the U.S., resulting in 74 arrests and the rescue of 88 survivors. Resources were provided to those in need during the investigation.
