Police arrest 2 for prostitution at massage parlor
Friday, December 15, 2006
WEST DEPTFORD TWP. A massage parlor was shut down and two women were arrested on prostitution charges here, police said Thursday.
Using information gathered during a two-month undercover investigation, police executed a search warrant at Evergreen Therapy in Suite G at 200 Grove Road, in the Mid Atlantic Industrial Park at 2:19 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
Officers found that sexual acts were being offered in exchange for money, said police.
The business owner, Kim xxx, 55, of Voorhees, was charged with promoting prostitution and maintaining a house of prostitution, served with a complaint summons and released, police said.
Chong S. xxx, 48, whose last known address was in Greensburg, Pa., was charged with promoting prostitution, processed and released, said police.
Investigator Patrick Goggin handled the case with the help of Deptford Township police.
The township's code enforcement officer shut the business down for allegedly having unsafe appliances in the form of a mini kitchen set up with cooking facilities, and living inside a commercial business Love allegedly was staying there, said police.
Police Chief Craig Mangano said the massage parlor, with a neon sign in its window facing Grove Road, had been there about six months. He said the investigation was launched when police "were alerted to the suspicious activity by neighboring offices."

2 women face N. Bergen prostitution charges
Thursday, December 21, 2006
NORTH BERGEN - Cops have arrested two women they say offered massages and a little extra through the Internet.
[Hispanic name], 31, of the Bronx, and [Hispanic name], 28, of New York City, were arrested in North Bergen and charged with prostitution, cops said.
Investigators, after receiving a tip, found the advertisements on the Web site craigslist.com.
The advertisements have since been taken down and police would not provide the newspaper with the exact wording of the ads, but they said the ads implied the "massages" would include sexual activity, reports said.
Police posting as customers called the number provided and made an appointment, police said. The women kept the appointment at an address in North Bergen and offered undercover cops sex for money, which led to their arrest, reports said.

I was in Newark last Tuesday on a business trip, decided to dive around town -- ended up in a Hispanic side of town. I had an eye contact with a 18-20 year old hispnic woman and as soon as I stopped she was in my car, it just happened so quickly and unexpectedly.
My hotel was about 20 minutes away, but I had friends there. She said she got a place, which I hesitated about, then agreed for $80 to include everything.
So she gives me directions for 10 minutes, then she says she has to go first and asked me to wait in the car. Minutes later she says "its OK", so we walk into an apartment, with 2 women walking out, it was filthy.
I just wanted to get it over with, I did not plan it, so the minute we walked in I took off my pants and she did the same, luckily she had a condom and in no time I was pumping. I could not cum because of my medication, but it was pleasurable as I had her under me, with her back to me ... I checked out every inch of her body.
She did not complain at all, but after 20 minutes she asked me if she could suck, I agreed, but it was mostly a handjob with the tip inside her mouth.
As soon as I came there was a knock on the door, so she rushed to put her pants on, and I did the same. This is my first time with a Hispanic, and this one got the fattest pussy lips I ever seen, just fat and meaty.
She talked in Spanish to the kid who came knocking, then asked me if I can take her to a place nearby, I agreed. After driving a mile or so she asked me what I did with the condom, I told her I wrapped it in a napkin I had and left it on the floor in the room, she threw a fit. I had to take her back to retrieve the condom and drove off.
Overall, I had not had sex for a year before that, first time with a Latina fat beaver, had someone scream at me in Spanish, but it was a good fuck. (Review # 15515)

When the most beautiful prostitute on Market street actuall has a dick, that a problem! His name is Jessica, mid 20s, rates a 6 out of 10. Nice body and clean looking with long hair and everything that make a woman, a woman.
First I did not realize it, be he asked me is I was looking for a femals, because I am not a female, he said. I am adverturous, and in the past had a another shemal suck me without knowing (about 3 times), and it was the best BJ, so I thought why now.
First I asked her to masturbate, this chick had a nice clean looking dick. I put on a condom and she sucked exactly like I hoped. I am bi-sexual, but it also felt good to hold her dick while she sucked for me.
I came avderage, not spectacular despite the great technique and attention to details which she exhibited, maybe because I knew she was a man. But it was good.
Dropped her off, then watched her stroll down the street and hide around cars and trees when police drove by. (Review # 15281)

Picked up Jazmin again, a blond, 24, rates 6 or 7 out of 10, she was walking near the Alabama projects on Market street. She jumped in my car. This time she demanded $30 for BJ instead of the standard $20, but she said that she just got out of jail form drug posession and needed to pay her fine, which is OK with me. Then shoot, the condom broke while I was putting it on. So I had her give me a hand job.
I had Jazmin before, nice body, but her stomach was stretched out from previous pregnancy, her pussy looked thin and skinny, with the labia majora looking like thin skin folds not my style!
She started giving me a real good BJ, but I decided to ram her for the $40 I paid. Not a good fuck, but an excellent BJ.
A word about cops in Paterson, they are on the alert, especially for drugs near the projects. (Review # 15270)

I was so ineed of some release last night I decided to go to Body works in Pleasantville around 11 o'clock. Was greeted at the door By the Asian lady who runs the place I'm assuming. She led me to a room asked me to undress after I gave her the $60.00 fee. She sends in an Asian woman maybe she was mid 30's at best. I hoped for younger but I was totally horned up. Face was maybe a 6 out of ten but her body was nice very nice.
She wore a nighty like top and matching shorts. She gave me a kick ass massage walked on my back and everything. When I was on my back she rubbed my chest touch my cock lightly to get me hard. She asked if I wanted it massaged I agreed of course. She lubed up my cock and started giving me a nice slow handjob. I was wandering my hands on her ass and chest before you know it I had her shorts off and her pussy in my face.
I was totally eating her out. Pussy could have used a better trimming than what she had but I didn’t care. She was jacking me harder as I ate her out and figured her while I rubbed her tiny breast and felt her small ass. After 20 minutes of foreplay I blew my load. She cleaned me up and laid next to me for 10 minutes or so rubbed her body and sucked on her tits for awhile. Left 30 tip not bad for what I got to think she might have wanted more money but I didn’t get full service so.

Read a review about Moonlight Lounge in Paterson and decided to check it out last weekend. Lap dances are $5, not $1 as stated in earlier posts, but it is closer to a fuck than a lap dance, basically, the sluts there will stand with their back to you and get your penis in their butt cleavage, then move side to side, up and down.. to make the story short, I came in my pants.
Most are Hispanic women; with few black all are 4-5, except for a younger Hispanic who is an 8. Best about her is her figure and the fact that she sooooo! Sooo! soooo soft . never touched a woman that soft.
Anyway, I came back next day, and at close one of the girls asked me to if I could give her a ride to NYC, I told her that I was heading out to get a BJ, shed offered to give me a BJ in exchange for the ride, and so we did, in the Bronx.
Anyway, next evening went back to Paterson to check out market street action. More police than street walkers, but picked up a black chick, rated 5 and had a BJ in the car, she wanted to do without a rubber, but I pulled one I had in the glove compartment. I got a very rough, but good BJ, my penis still sore after 4 days. oh, paid $20.

I went to a place on Route 27 in Edison called New Health Facial and Massage. Small building like an old house. Chinese girls there, like late 20's to 35 or so. They have curtains on the room door so I knew this place was busted before. They will roam around with the hands, but no topless or nude at all! No privacy at all. Someone can walk right into the room. They will beg for a tip for just a massage, roaming you know - a tease. Half ass massage is like 50 for an hour. Cold as hell too... only portable heaters! In the wintertime too. COLD! I'd say on a scale of 1-10... a 2 or 3.

Great AMP on Route 28 called Lee's Therapy. It's in an office complex, not the other AMP on Route 28 (VIP Massage). Walked in, good looking Asian lady (about 35) came out and welcomed me. Paid 60 for the hour and was taken to a room. The same lady came in, said her name was Sue, and began the massage. I asked what she did for tips, and she said due to recent crackdowns all over Central Jersey, they only do HJ. Paid 50, and she oiled me up and gave a pretty good HJ. However, afterwards, she gave me the best massage of my life.
This isn't like some other MPs where they half-heartedly massage and usher you out after you cum. She did both Shiatsu and Swedish, and knew how to work the knots out with her hands and feet. I started talking to her in broken Korean, and I learned she was actually from Korea, but of Japanese descent. That must be the only Japanese massseuse on the East Coast. I find that if you start talking, they really open up and give you much better service. Anyway, I recommend this place for a great massage and a good handjob for about 110 bucks. It seems FS and BJ in MPs are a thing of the past.

ROXBURY TWP. – Four individuals have been arrested and charged with prostitution related offenses, following an undercover operation conducted at four township massage parlors.
Morris County Prosecutor Michael Rubbinaccio and Chief Joseph Devine, chief of investigations for the prosecutor’s office, issued a statement Friday naming four individuals who were arrested following the targeting of three township business locations that were reportedly engaging in prostitution related activities.
These businesses included the “Lucky Spot” located at 1451 Route 46 in Ledgewood, “Osaka”, located at 760 Route 46 in Roxbury and the “Yumi Spa” located at 139 Route 10 in Roxbury Township.
As a result of the undercover initiative conducted by the prosecutor, Zhen Shun Zhu of the Lucky Spot was arrested for allegedly engaging in prostitution.
Young Soon Kim of Osaka was charged with promoting prostitution. Sun Ok Aban of Osaka was charged with engaging in prostitution and Jin Shu Zhi of Yumi Spa was arrested for engaging in prostitution.
According to the prosecutor, surveillance and video monitoring equipment were seized during the course of this investigation.
In addition, more than $13,000 in U.S. currency, as well as computers, business and customer records were seized.
All four defendants were being held in the Morris County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 bail. None had the option of posting 10 percent for early release.
According to the prosecutor’s office, at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 28, law enforcement officers from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Special Enforcement Unit
According to the prosecutor’s office, this investigation is part of an ongoing focus on “quality of life” issues in Morris County.
Deputy Chief Paul Kalleberg said Friday that the prosecutor’s office received a tip early last week, and immediately began an undercover investigation.
It did not take authorities long, he said, to determine that prostitution was taking place.
“We have closed these places down before, but they always seem to pop back up again,” Kalleberg said.
He said authorities seized a lot of evidence at the four establishments, and said the investigation is ongoing. “Hopefully, this will keep them closed down for a while,” he said.
He said one of the massage parlors was lodged in the second floor of the paint ball shop near Cliff’s Dairy Maid on Route 46 in Ledgewood. Another was operational in the rear of a former auto parts store.
“Roxbury is one of the towns that requires these establishments to be licensed. What the requirements of those licenses are, I don’t know. That is one of the things we will be looking at. We will also be looking to see what approvals they had from the township, and for what kind of operation,” he said.
He also said it is unclear what the township does to see that conditions set down in the licensing requirements are being adhered to.
“Those are a lot of the same questions we have,” he said.
He said arrests at similar businesses in the township have taken place previously.
Health Officer Frank Grisi said the health department is required to perform inspections of massage parlors, according to a township ordinance that was enacted several years ago.
“There is no set frequency other than once per year. We are in these places a lot more than once per year,” Grisi said, adding that inspection reports for these establishments were being copied and furnished to the prosecutor’s office Friday.
“We inspect them from a regulatory position. We are not law enforcement. We inspect them to determine if sanitary conditions and other conditions are being met. I know the owners must pass a background check and they need a permit to operate, and that is issued through the detective bureau with the police department,” Grisi said.
“We are looking for health code violations,” Grisi said.
Township Manager Christopher Raths said Friday that he applauds the prosecutor’s efforts, and said the township looks forward to a speedy prosecution.
Raths said there are approximately six massage parlors that are licensed to operate in the township, all of which are inspected regularly by the health department.
He would not comment further as this is an ongoing criminal investigation.
Mary Ann Dering owns Flowers By MaryAnn, and her shop is located on the first floor of the building that contains the Yumi Spa.
She said she was not surprised at the arrests.
“We knew what was going on. How could you not? Who goes to a spa besides men? If women need therapy, they go to a licensed therapist. There was a continuous parade of men all day long,” said Dering, who has been in business at the location since 1986.
“Who goes to a so-called spa? But, they never bothered us. We never bothered them. None of their customers ever bothered us or any of our customers. It’s funny how women never need a spa service,” Dering said.
“We’ve been here since 1986, and there have been three different owners, but like I said, they never bothered us. It’s not our place to be putting people out of business, and they really just never bothered us. But, we knew what was going on,” she said.

In the back of the Daily News, there is always an advertisement for the Fantasy Showbar in this little shithole of a town, so on a lark, I decided that I should give it a run. When you get inside, you pay the doorman the entry fee, and a pretty hot chic will give you a hug, which was a nice touch. I ended up taking a table right near the stage because it was pretty empty when I went. The girls will try hustling you like crazy. It was $20 for a lap dance that was out in the open, which was quite awkward. I got a lap dance from this one girl (can't remember her name) and things were going alright, so she had me go sit on a couch near another room. She has some girl, Goldilocks, come over and tell me that she and the other girl would make me cum for $500 for 30 minutes. When I laughed at the notion, she said that I could have the other girl for $200 for ten minutes. I agreed, which was the biggest mistake of my life.
The doorman takes me to this weird-looking room and says to hang out there in front of this glass. The girl appears on the other side of the glass sitting on the equivalent of a gyno-Doc's table and starts dildo-ing herself, as she has me stroke myself off. She stared at the timer the whole time, which killed any good that may have been had. For the same amount of money, I could have hired a really hot incall from an escort outfit and got full service. The girls at this joint are no higher than a 5.

Once there, you get to choose from 3 girls per shift, and I was told they have a total of 9 girls that work there. Girls vary from average to above average. 2 or 3 that I've seen are incredible. All girls are either Dominican, Columbian, or Cuban. They come from New York and the place closes early like around 7 or 8 pm. 50 dollars an hour entrance fee and then you will talk over additional costs with your lady. FS usually runs about 120.

This parlor has been previously reviewed here so this review is an update. This place was definitely hard to spot. There is one small sign that just says "Sunny" in a 2nd floor window facing Rt130. It is confusing because there is a tanning salon on the other side of the building with a similar name. Like the previous reviewer stated, $50 at the door. No table shower, or any shower for that matter. I missed that cuz I love the table showers! My masseuse was Michelle. She wasn't the sexiest masseuse I've seen, but she was excellent. She has great hands and gave me an excellent massage that felt great. She was very friendly, didn't rush me. When I requested it, she even slowed down . . .

Three arrests made in escort service probe
Late May, 2005.
EATONTOWN — Two residents of a Ginger Mews condominium that borough police describe as the source of nuisance complaints from neighbors have been rounded up by New Jersey State Police as part of a larger statewide probe of escort services and massage parlors.
Altogether, three people — one man and two women — were netted in the May 10 raid by state police on the unit at 36 Ginger Court, the culmination of an investigation into underground prostitution dubbed “Operation Risky Business.”
xxx, 50, a resident of the condominium, was arrested and charged with one count each of promoting prostitution, possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Detective Sgt. James Fish of the state police special operations unit.
xxx allegedly operated a prostitution business known as Quality Escorts out of his condominium unit.
[Female], 33, who shares the unit with Ferry, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, Fish said.
[Female], 39, of Manalapan, identified by Fish as one of Ferry’s employees in Quality Escorts, was also apprehended inside the condominium and charged with prostitution.
All three were transported to the state police barracks in the Allenwood section of Wall Township, where they were processed and later released on their own recognizance, Fish said.
[The three] will appear separately before a state grand jury at a later date, said Fish, who indicated he did not know if any of the suspects had prior criminal records.
The investigation into the operations of Quality Escorts is ongoing, Fish said.
Any records that would identify the clientele of the service, which advertised through a Web site, will be searched to learn more about Ferry’s business, he noted.
“We’re going to go through the little black books for the identification of clients,” Fish said.
If located, [...] clients would be subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury.
Though it is unclear how long Quality Escorts had been operating, neighbors at Ginger Mews had complained to police about the constant flow of vehicles and visitors coming and going from the unit occupied by [the two], said Chief George Jackson of the Eatontown Police.
Prostitution is a disorderly persons offense punishable by six months in jail and a fine of $1,000, Fish said.
Promoting prostitution is an indictable offense punishable by up to 18 months in prison.

Info current as of late April, 2005 Prostitution alleged at boro massage parlor SAYREVILLE — A yearlong investigation into an alleged prostitution ring at a Route 35 spa has yielded four arrests. Police, who made the arrests April 13 at New Life Spa, in the Morgan section, charge that employees were engaging in sexual acts with customers inside the spa for extra payment. All four suspects are from New York, but police said they had been living on the premises at the time of the arrests. xxxx, 58, of Woodside, was charged with promoting prostitution and managing the establishment for prostitution; and Kum “Sophie” Oh, 41, also of Woodside; xxx “Jane," 42, of Flushing; and xxx“Yumei," 41, also of Flushing, were each charged with numerous counts of prostitution and promoting prostitution The spa, which was licensed by the state to perform massages, has been shut down as a result of the arrests, according to police. The spa had been in operation since summer 2003, said Sayreville Detective Sgt. Jeffrey Sprague, who led the investigation with the Sayreville Police Narcotics Bureau. While noting that, in typical cases where prostitution has taken place in spas or massage parlors, the suspects will work at a given location for a couple of months and then move on to another operation. “Very seldom do the girls stay there unless it is a very good business,” Sprague said. “This one was.” He said the usual rate for a massage at the spa was $60 an hour, and that it was understood that any extra services would be paid with a gratuity, usually an additional $40. Sprague said clients would come from all over New Jersey and even from as far as Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York. Numerous massage parlors in East Brunswick have also been shut down by police in recent years on prostitution-related charges, and Sprague said this was not the first spa in Sayreville where arrests have been made. Several parlors on Route 9 were shut down about three years ago. Prior to that, Sayreville police worked in conjunction with Old Bridge officers in investigating several parlors on routes 9 and 34. While police believe that many clients went to the spa seeking unlawful activity, Sprague added that not every customer was aware of the alleged sexual behavior. Police believe that in some cases, unwitting patrons would be receiving a massage when the employee would begin to commit an inappropriate act. The investigation was prompted by an anonymous tip made to police. Sprague added that the length of the investigation was extended in an effort to avoid tipping off the suspects. Also, as more prostitution rings have been shut down, others where the illegal acts are alleged have begun to use less obvious forms of communication regarding what is being offered. The less that is said and the more alternate means of communication that are used, “the safer it is to commit these crimes,” he said. “You really have to be involved in the investigation to see if it takes place. You have to be very careful,” Sprague said. In some cases, an employee who is in the country illegally is working against their will for fear of being deported. Sprague said that was not the case at the Sayreville spa. “My biggest concern is, you want to make sure that the girls are there on their own,” he said. “They know why they’re there, not because they have to pay someone back for being in this country.” “[It’s been] a lengthy investigation but if you can save one girl from being in that position, then it’s worth it,” Sprague added. All four suspects have been released from custody, pending a court hearing. Sprague said fines could range from $250 to $1,000 and probation may also result, should the women be tried at the municipal level and found guilty. If they are tried in state Superior Court, a pre-trial intervention might be requested that could result in probation for six to 12 months. (Review # 11331)
