Undercover Officers, Deputies Bust Alleged Prostitution House
Police Search For Alleged Madam
UPDATED: 7:45 pm EST January 27, 2006
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two California women were arrested and charged with engaging in prostitution after a massage parlor was raided Friday afternoon.
The raid took place at the Ocean Health Spa, located at 4392 Indianola Ave., at about 2:30 p.m., NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.
Bags of condoms and $15,000 in cash that was wrapped in aluminum foil were taken from the business at about 2:30 p.m.
Columbus police and Franklin County sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant inside the massage parlor, alleging that much more was taking place inside.
The business was a front for organized prostitution, according to Franklin County Chief Deputy Steve Martin.
The women who were arrested are both 50 years old, Tate reported. A male customer was inside the business at the time of the undercover operation, but he was not arrested, Tate reported.
Law enforcement was looking for several other suspected prostitutes who work at the Ocean Health Spa, along with the madam who is suspected of running the operation. Authorities did not release her name but said she faces more serious charges of promoting prostitution.
"It's sort of almost like a slave trade," said Franklin County Chief Deputy Steve Martin. "These females are shipped from one location to another, all over the country. Every time we get driver's licenses or ID from them, we get them from Boston, L.A., Houston, Texas."
Martin said the operator of the Ocean Health Spa is different from the person who ran the Oasis Health Spa at the exact location. The Oasis Health Spa was raided in June for similar crimes, along with the Jade Clinic, located on East Dublin-Granville Road.

Hello, all. New to the boards. Very informative. So far, i have enjoyed reading through some of the posts. I find myself nodding my head as I have shared in the same experiences with some of the same ladies as i've seen posted here.
I was just wondering if anyone else has been to the Chirapsia Spa. I am not much of a SW guy. I tend to play it safe and stick with the parlors. A bit expensive but well worth it IMO.
I wanted to share my experience in Chirapsia. I will be very vague for obvious reasons, but it was money well spent. The only bad thing is that since Ocean Spa was hit (the bust is posted on here), the place was packed. The massage was very short lived, but the ending was so sweet. I don't know how they feel about asking for a particular girl, but "Lisa" was excellent. Looks like a very hot school teacher, if you're into that. Very nice face and body.
Anyways, looking to swap stories and hear of any other parlors that anyone else has been to and had good "massages".

I guess that there was another massage parlor bust at Cleveland and Morse today. The bad thing is that the news reported that they kept complete records with names of their customers. All of that info was confiscated by Vice.
At least, the SWs keeps all of their info in their heads.
The MP that was busted is Chirapsia. It seems that LE is quick to catch on to where JOHNS are headed after one place is shut down.

As far as records, I have no idea what they could be talking about unless the girls go through your wallet while you're in the sauna or shower and get your ID an record the name. I am a little concerned about this. One good thing is that my address on my DL's is not current, but ofcourse, all of the other information is. Sweating Bullets!

I don't know how they would get info on customers unless they somehow ran your plates.
When I first visited the spa after they opened, you signed a card about massage for theraputic purposes only etc. I hope no one here would bother to sign a real name.
It's interesting, because I was there this past week and it was business as usual. With the recent bust, no wonder everyone seemed glad to see me.
Anyone know what happened to the place in Columbus Square? Lights on, mail on the floor, and no answer of the phone. I didn't hear anything about a bust. Usually that stuff is on the news or in the paper.

I was starting to wonder if the place was legit and didn't open on Saturdays.
Have you ever been there? What was your experience?
Based on where they advertised. I suspect they provided similar services to some of our old watering holes.
I actually think they are a moved MP from across town.. which was closed from last spring? when was the last bust round last year? (Last year, I was actually driving to the one on Indy dr and I saw news trucks and LE there and I kept on driving. Wow an hour or two sooner and I would of been shittin my pants)
Question is why aren't they busting the non Asian MPs! (they too advertised the same place)
I used to see Diane at Jade on a semi-regular basis. All the ladies there were very friendly and pleasant to chat with. I miss that place.

I guess a sting operation on Taft golfing is not as attractive to them.
LC Therapy is open!
LC Therapy is OPEN! Good times are to be had here.
