This story was updated to correct the gender of the person arrested by Revere police in a human trafficking investigation.
Revere police arrested a 64-year-old woman earlier this month in connection with a six-month-long human trafficking investigation, the department said in a statement posted to Facebook.
Xiu Ying Zhang, of Revere, was arrested during a search of 50 Nahant Ave. in Revere on March 19.
During the search of the residence, police found a Chinese national who had been smuggled into the U.S. through Mexico, the statement said. Zhang is charged with trafficking of a person for sexual servitude, deriving support from prostitution, and maintaining a house of prostitution, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.
Zhang was held on $500,000 bail after her arraignment, police said. She will return to Chelsea District Court on April 19 for a probable cause hearing.
Revere Police Chief David Callahan thanked the Massachusetts State Police High Risk Victim’s unit for its “continued dedication and commitment in assisting us with these complex and evolving multijurisdictional cases.”
