Hopefully we can get another Asian massage joint because 4 in a 2 mile stretch certainly isn't enough.

This is GREAT news. I hope the police check out the 'activity' on Spring St in Watertown where there is a massage business that seems awfully busy with male clientele.

Two down, but there are still more. http://www.spahunters.com/spas/New-Jersey/973-862/detail.htm?service=2752&rtn=/spas/New-Jersey/973-862/

Cut and paste the above link and it becomes obvious that Qi Massage, by the movie theatre, is also offering prostitution services. After doing some research these businesses are fairly easy to spot. Here is a pretty good profile:

1. Asian massage
2. Operate 7 days a week, hours are 10-10
3. Advertisements are clearly targeting male clientele, legitimate massage clientele are female
4. Ads mention women masseuses and sometimes describe there physical appearance
5. Offering showers is also something a legitimate business would not do

Based on this criteria, Bodyzen also appears suspect.

Here is another link for a website that perps are using to locate these types of services. Not surprising that New Moon made the list, but according to this there are 3 others.

Lol what is wrong with a Male receiving a massage? I have gotten many massages from Asian masseuses. Some of them are very good and therapeutic unlike the simple relaxation/spa massages given by American massage businesses. You people are way too uptight and need to mind your own business.

I know people that have gotten some extra services from American massage spa's and Asian places, and people that have gotten extra services from a girl they picked up at the bar. I don't care what people do in their private time, and neither should you. A good strong/therapeutic massage is worth it's weight in gold.

This situation, unfortunately, is no surprise. I also concur with those above who state there are likely more in Belmont / Watertown and every town that go un-investigated and prosecuted. They need to be looked into for public safety, at the least, if not just because it is against the law. I have children and do NOT want this business in my community. And as for the fellow above who says he does not care what people do in their private time: there are legal and safer ways to fulfill the same need. If prostitution were legal it could be regulated to protect communities and individuals. I am not necessarily advocating this, but we do look a blind eye at the on-going existence of "the world's oldest profession." (One of many like farming!)

It is a waste of taxpayers dollars to pursue poor women who are probably easy to set up because of poor understanding of the language. I asked one women if she did cranial sacral work, she said yes, but it was clear she had no idea what I was asking her. It would be so easy for police to in-trap them.Many Asian therapists are very well trained in acupressure and also understand how to move energy or chi.
We have much more serious crimes that involve violence which I would want to be protected from, but from this? . . . hardly.

If you really want to control this, legalize it, better for everyone, like in the Netherlands. Much healthier attitudes about sex, much less teen pregnancy. . . . Less STD's etc.
