FOX 2 - They claim to be a spa, but they are allegedly selling sex. Macomb County busts another business for illegal dealings both under the table and on top of it.
Including one recently that was busted last week in Chesterfield Township. FOX 2 was told it was owned and run by Chinese immigrants who are facing charges. Google says they are permanently closed. FOX 2 sat down with Lucido after a handful of similar raids in his county this year, including a major one which spanned several states.
Five local massage parlors were dismantled, and three women were charged for running a house of prostitution. In this case, and two other recent ones in Chesterfield Township and Eastpointe, the people that run these places recruit from their home countries.
They are not paid and sleep on the floors of the businesses, in terrible conditions. Lucido says spotting the slippery parlors is easy, and the tips almost always come from regular folks.
It increases crime," said Lucido. Why should you be charged? Lucido, known for a tough on crime approach, says the people, mostly men, ordering off that special menu have and will be charged.
