Two Seymour women face felony charges of impersonating licensed professionals after they gave massages to undercover vice officers with the Knox County Sheriff's Office, records state.

Undercover officers conducted the operation about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at China Foot Reflexology, 7505 Chapman Highway, according to records.

The investigation of unlicensed massage parlors resulted in charges of impersonating a licensed professional against Feng Qin Liu, 46, and Feng Yun Liu, 39. Both listed their address as Smoky Crossing Way in Seymour, according to records.

Both women have bonded out of the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility.

Records show an undercover detective received "a full body massage" for 75 minutes from Feng Qin Liu. When finished, the detective was told to pay Feng Yun Liu $50 in cash for the hour massage and another $20 in cash for "the extra 15 minutes."

Yun Liu also "requested a tip for" Qin Liu, so the detective paid another $10 in cash, according to records.

Another undercover detective was the recipient of an hour-long "full body massage" from Yun Liu, records show. He paid her $50 in cash and another $20 in cash as a tip.

After the undercover detectives left the business, other officers entered to check whether the two women were properly licensed.

Neither woman, records state, had "the appropriate license to perform massage issued by the state of Tennessee regulatory massage board." Officers took the women to jail rather than cite them to court because the charge is a felony.
