STOCKTON, CA – A Stockton man who was running an illegal massage parlor has been charged for rape and sexual assault.
“Thanks to the help of our community members, after a lengthy investigation, a search warrant was served today at the 1900 block of 9th Street in Stockton,” the San Qoaqin Sheriff’s Department said. “A well-known member within the Hispanic community for his gift of massage (despite not having any schooling in the matter) Emiliano Canada-Vargas, 53, was arrested for several felonies including forcible rape and sexual assault.”
At this time Sheriff’s officers say they have several victims that were very brave to come forward. However, Canada-Vargas has been in this business for approximately 30 years and people come to see him from all over. We believe there may be other victims.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of his, we ask that you contact Detective Arreola at 209-468-4425 or 209-468-4443.
