A Chinese illegal alien living in Chicago under Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker’s sanctuary policies has been indicted for running a human and sex-trafficking ring across state lines.

A Marion County Grand Jury in Ohio has indicted Xiaoping Peng, 53, of Chicago, Illinois, on a list of serious felony charges tied to a prostitution and trafficking enterprise that operated out of a so-called “Chinese Spa” located at 1288 Delaware Avenue in Marion, Ohio, according to Marion County Now.

According to the news outlet citing authorities, Peng entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration and managed to remain in Chicago after filing an asylum claim—a loophole frequently exploited under the administration’s open-border policies.

Officials say Peng acted as a courier and recruiter, transporting female victims across state lines and collecting proceeds tied to sexual exploitation. The investigation uncovered that the operation trafficked women from Illinois to Ohio between March 6 and June 17, 2025.

When Marion police raided the spa, they discovered evidence of ongoing forced prostitution and human exploitation, including communications and financial trails linking Peng to multiple states.

Peng’s charges include:

  • Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity
  • Two Counts of Trafficking in Persons for Involuntary Servitude
  • Two Counts of Promoting Prostitution

Peng was arraigned before Judge Todd Anderson, who set bond at $1 million following shocking revelations uncovered by investigators.

Marion County Prosecutor, Grogan, highlighted the interstate dimension of the crimes, which involved moving victims from Illinois to Ohio, underscoring the necessity for potential federal coordination if the operation extends beyond state lines.

If convicted, Peng faces substantial prison time, with each first-degree felony carrying a potential sentence of up to 11 years, in addition to possible fines.

Grogan urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity at similar establishments, emphasizing that community tips initiated this investigation. He stated that this case serves as a critical reminder of the hidden victims often coerced or trafficked from out of state, and reassured that his team is committed to providing support to any identified survivors through local advocacy resources.

“Human trafficking thrives in the shadows, but we’re shining a light on it here in Marion,” Grogan said. “Peng’s arrest serves as a warning to all exploiters: we will track you down, no matter how far you travel, and hold you accountable.”

By law, all charged defendants, including Peng, are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
