Haverstraw, NY — Following community complaints regarding alleged prostitution, the Haverstraw Police Department, in collaboration with the New York State Police, conducted an undercover investigation at Solace Springs Spa, located at 242 N. Route 9W, Unit F, Haverstraw, New York.

This operation marks the second arrest this year resulting from an investigation at the same location.

As a result of the most recent operation, Xiaona Wang, 49, of Haverstraw, NY, was arrested and charged with the following offenses:

  • Unauthorized Practice of a Profession (Class E Felony)

  • Prostitution (Class B Misdemeanor)

It is alleged that the defendant solicited an undercover investigator for sexual acts in exchange for payment and performed a massage without a valid New York State massage therapy license.

Personnel from the Haverstraw Police Department assigned to the Rockland County Intelligence Center and the FBI–Westchester Safe Streets Task Force assisted in the operation, providing additional resources and support to collaborating law enforcement agencies.

Due to repeated violations, the Village of Haverstraw Building Department has once again revoked the Certificate of Occupancy for Solace Springs Spa, effectively closing the business.

This follows a similar investigation conducted on March 21, 2025, when a 45-year-old female from Queens, NY, was arrested at the same location and charged with Prostitution and Unauthorized Practice of a Profession after allegedly offering sexual acts for payment and performing unlicensed massage services.

The Haverstraw Police Department remains committed to addressing community complaints and working in partnership with law enforcement agencies to uphold public safety and professional standards within the community.

It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
