President Trump’s annual Super Bowl party at his West Palm Beach, Fla., resort included the former owner of a local day spa chain, where weeks later, police say, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft allegedly engaged in solicitation of prostitution at one of its outlets.
In a selfie posted to Facebook on her account, Cindy Yang can be seen sitting with Trump on Feb. 3, the same day the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.

Yang, who is a regular at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, according to her Facebook photos that were later deleted, started the Tokyo Day Spa chain of spas and massage parlors in 2007. First reported by the Miami Herald, 45-year-old Yang’s operations had become notorious for offering under-the-table sexual services. Yang’s photos show her mingling often with celebrities and politicians, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, while holding a bejeweled “MAGA” wallet. She has also taken photos with Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
In Kraft’s second visit in 24 hours to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa, police say they caught him paying for oral sex. Jupiter, Fla., Police Chief Daniel Kerr announced Kraft would face two misdemeanor charges for “soliciting another to commit prostitution,” stemming from a human trafficking sweep in the city.
A Kraft spokesman denied the charges. On Feb. 25, the state attorney for Palm Beach County, Dave Aronberg, announced Kraft was among 25 people facing first-degree misdemeanor charges for soliciting prostitution at the Jupiter day spa. Kraft’s attorney then electronically entered a not guilty plea in Palm Beach County.
Yang, meanwhile, said she previously sold off the store. Yang was not charged with any crimes as part of the state’s sweep and shutdown of 10 Asian day spas, part of a huge human-trafficking bust — including the one Kraft allegedly patronized. None of the spas were registered to Yang or her family.
