Undercover sting leads to three massage parlor arrests in south Forsyth

An undercover operation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 12, 2026 resulted in the arrest of three women employed at separate massage parlors in south Forsyth, officials said. The action targeted alleged illicit sexual activity taking place inside businesses that serve the local community and could prompt county licensing scrutiny.

The arrests involved Feng Wang, 52, of Norcross, who works at Yuan Massage at 7810 McGinnis Ferry Road, Suite 107. Deputy Doug Rainwater, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, identified Wang as being charged with masturbation for hire and keeping a place of prostitution. Jinjie Guo, 40, of Duluth, who works at “A” Massage at 2255 Callaway Court, Suite 400 off Peachtree Parkway, was arrested for masturbation for hire. Suk Yong Holman, 54, of Atlanta, an employee of Edge Massage Therapy LLC at 765 McFarland Parkway, Suite C, was arrested for prostitution and cited on two county ordinance violations: not being clothed appropriately and for “fondling the genitals of another,” Rainwater said.

Investigators noted one of the businesses targeted in the operation had been the subject of enforcement action twice already this year, underscoring a pattern that county authorities say they are seeking to disrupt. The sheriff’s office emphasized enforcement of laws against prostitution and related activity, and indicated that arrests like these may trigger additional county-level licensing review for affected establishments.

For Forsyth County residents the operation raises immediate public-safety and neighborhood concerns. South Forsyth shopping centers and commercial strips that include massage businesses have been a focus of complaints in recent years, and repeat enforcement actions can affect daytime and evening traffic, perceptions of safety, and the viability of legitimately operated wellness businesses. Local owners and workers who operate within the law may face increased inspections or new permit conditions as county regulators respond.

The arrests also highlight the challenge of distinguishing lawful therapeutic massage from criminal activity perpetrated under the cover of legitimate businesses. Sheriff’s office enforcement aims to target operators and individuals who profit from or facilitate sexual services, while leaving legitimate licensees to continue serving clients.

Residents should expect follow-up from county authorities as records are processed and any licensing reviews move forward. The sheriff’s office continues to investigate and enforce county ordinances and state laws related to prostitution, and county licensing officials may review permits for the businesses involved. What comes next for affected businesses will be determined through law enforcement procedures and any administrative actions by county regulators.
