Local residents got some idea of the problem when massage parlors in Auburn and one in Nevada City earlier this year were investigated for workers being forced into prostitution. Those business have since been shut down and two principals of the business await prosecution.

Fairchild says some of the girls are deceived and pulled in, others are drugged into it.
