Crest Hill Prostitute Busted By Undercover Cops: Complaint

A Mandarin interpreter will be at Baoxia Li's next Will County Courthouse hearing.

The Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team recently arrested a 52-year-old woman working in Crest Hill who is accused of providing more than just a muscle-relaxing back rub. A criminal complaint at the Will County Courthouse filed last week states that Baoxia Li, who shows an address in Chicago, has been charged with committing the crime of prostitution in Crest Hill. Her next hearing is on May 11 in Courtroom 304. A not-guilty plea has been entered on her behalf.

According to the complaint, on March 22 the "defendant knowingly offered to perform an act of touching or fondling of the sex organs for anything of value, to wit, U.S. currency, for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification of an undercover officer with the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team."

An article in the Joliet Herald-News indicated that Li worked at a massage parlor in the 2200 block of Plainfield Road called I Spa.
