Four people are facing charges, after federal agents raided a massage parlor on Niagara Falls Blvd. in Wheatfield. Among those arrested, Len "Lisa" Wah Chong, who tells 7 News the charges against her are false.

"I got house, I got kids, I got husband," she said from the front steps of her North Tonawanda home. "I would lose my business."

Federal agents said Lisa and three other defendants operated the spas and massage parlors as fronts for prostitution by illegal immigrants. Four locations were raided in Western New York on Monday. Nine women were discovered living in the businesses.

Lisa said she was unaware of the legal status of her workers, adding that none of the women lived in her stores.

Lisa and the other defendants are expected back in U.S. District Court in Buffalo sometime next week.
