A month long investigation has uncovered a prostitution ring at three message parlors in two counties in Northeast Wisconsin. Investigators tell NBC26 Four law enforcement agencies worked together to bust the operation.
Four people have been arrested in connection with the prostitution ring. The Beijing Massage in Ashwaubenon was closed with two people seen being taken away. Sarah Gasparick who works in a business near Beijing Massage watched it all happen. "We saw a lady getting taken out in handcuffs, and then one of our customers, she saw the guy getting taken out front, in handcuffs."
The doors are locked at the Eastern Massage Parlor in the Town of Buchanan and in Appleton, the Hong Kong Massage is closed for business. Pat Dewall with the Appleton Police Department says arrests were made. "We were investigating a report of prostitution that was occurring and the search warrant and subsequent arrests were the results of that investigation."
According to investigators, the parlors look legitimate. But a quick check on the web suggests something much more. Erotic overtones and even reviews, with prices ranging from 70 to 100 dollars, for 'VIP' service.
