XC didn't speak English and said she had "not even one" person she could turn to for help. XC first worked at Law's spa in Hobart. When she was moved to Duneland Spa, her luggage, which contained her passport and a return ticket to Taiwan, remained in Hobart, prosecutors said. Gary police conducted a sting operation at Duneland Spa, and XC was arrested for prostitution in September 2013.
