Westborough Spa Owner and Manager Charged With Running Prostitution Operation

Police say the case grew from a 2024 death at the spa into an investigation built on online ads, surveillance, client interviews.

Overview

  • Michael Langille and Leir Guo were arrested after officers executed a court-authorized search at Westborough Wellness Spa and both were arraigned in district court.
  • Langille pleaded not guilty and is held on $250,000 bail, while court records for Guo were not immediately available; the pair are due back in court on March 9.
  • Charges include keeping a house of prostitution, procuring a person to practice prostitution, and the felony offense of deriving support from prostitution, according to court records.
  • Investigators cite online advertisements linked to the spa, a pole-camera warrant that identified 13 clients, and interviews in which multiple clients reported being offered or receiving sexual services.
  • Authorities say the spa lacked required massage permits and allege two women appeared to live at the business and turned over payments to the owners; the multiagency probe with HSI, State Police, and the Worcester County DA remains active.
