Three massage parlors in Simi Valley were recently shut down but authorities have still not named the specific businesses involved.
On January 29 2026 the Simi Valley Police Department Special Enforcement Team teamed up with city code enforcement for a major multi agency sweep.
The operation targeted multiple locations across the city and identified serious violations that prompted the immediate revocation of business licenses at three separate parlors.
While the businesses were ordered to close their doors on the spot the Simi Valley Police Department has withheld the names and addresses of the locations.
This lack of transparency has raised questions about what is actually happening behind closed doors in Ventura County neighborhoods.
Last year the Ventura County Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a similar crackdown that shut down five illicit businesses and identified over 50 potential victims.
In February 2026 detectives wrapped up a year long investigation into a massive statewide operation involving commercial sex services.
Authorities arrested Kebin Dong and Wei Nie from Hacienda Heights who allegedly operated an internet based website that facilitated sex services at over 30 locations.
The married couple is facing four felony counts including conspiracy to commit pimping and pandering.
Several of the sites tied to their operation were reportedly located within Ventura County and search warrants were executed in both Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
Most massage businesses in the area are legitimate establishments but recent raids indicate that exploitation and trafficking continue to operate in plain sight.
When the specific details of these shutdowns remain hidden it leaves families in Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks wondering about the safety of their streets.
Should the names of businesses with revoked licenses be made public to protect the community?
