A compromise would be to legalize prostitution and put ALL the focus on eliminating trafficking. No arrests for the escorts / spas / johns. Operate freely and transparently. Just my opinion.

This is old news from January 2014, look at date at the top of the article below the title.

Focus on the genuine trafficking. Leave all the other consenting folks (on both sides of the transaction) alone.

Called for an appointment at Rainbow. Guess I was either spoiled by Jay or it's been too long since I've been there and need to start a regular thing. Got a Cookie. Shower and massage were not the worst I've had. She's cute, seemed into the flip side. Of course I'm thrilled when a woman has a narrower chassis than me. Will repeat and try and request her next time.Thinking about going soon due to lack of anything worth 7. 88 $ anywhere else in the area. Has there been any monkey pox cases tied to rainbow yet?

I am pretty sure the cases of monkeypox in southern new hampshire have been tied to the massage parlors there, due to fact the first cases all remained confidential for some strange reason (can you say can't let wife find out).

Apparently rainbow spa was raided 2 days ago for human trafficking. Which is bs because most of the time after my session with the girls. I would talk to them and they would talk about how they work there to make money to send to their families in Korea or few who talked about saving money for going back to school again. Authorities make up lies about human trafficking just so they can make an arrest which is sad since these are hard working ladies that are trying to make a living. They need to find real human trafficking places instead of making these stories up in order to stop an arrest. Hope cookie and all the other workers there find a new place so they can keep making a living.

Too bad really only went a couple times and wasnt real great by any means but was always somethjng to keep in mind givem the circumstanceRead the article carefully. It never says they had cameras in the building. It just says the business was under video surveillance and they were able to identify patrons from that. After the whole thing with Robert Kraft in Florida a few years ago, I think the cops know they can't just set up cameras in a massage parlor because it will get thrown out in court. The article says that 10 guys admitted to receiving sex acts when questioned, but it goes on to list the names of about two dozen men who they were able to identify. The bottom line is, if a cop questions you, keep your fucking mouth shut and tell them you won't talk to them without a lawyer present. If they have no evidence to justify detaining you, they have to let you go. They might lie and say they had cameras inside or that the girl already confessed to pressure you into talking. Don't believe them. After you refuse to talk, you can straight up ask them if you are being detained or if you are free to go. If those 10 guys kept quiet, they would have had nothing.

In the Montreal forums that I follow no one goes into any kind of detail or says anything that confirms full service is available in any of the massage parlor reviews. Looks like there's a good reason for that.

End of the day bratt is just a big town with lots of people eventually qas going to find out. You did see the reference to this site though, which I don't know how that stuff holds I court but def the influx of "good reciews" of the place lately makes you wonder.

People need to shut their mouth or just say they only got a massage. But the big bottom line is, they need to legal these places. Most of these places are hard working, honest people just trying to make a living while putting a smile on people's face. Human trafficking needs to be stopped but places like these are honest and willing citizens that work on their own free will to make a living.

What does Hunters laptop have to do with Rainbow Spa? Seriously!

[FurryDownSouth]

What does Hunters laptop have to do with Rainbow Spa? Seriously!Is it eventually closed or they might open for a few weeks and then close for a month. Usually Gilfs only. They repeated it in this Spring or last Winter. And on one now talk about them.

[SeniorFawn]

Is it eventually closed or they might open for a few weeks and then close for a month. Usually Gilfs only. They repeated it in this Spring or last Winter. And on one now talk about them.Both were my favorite. BTW anyone saw them in VT or MA areas? They had lots of fans so I think they might come back somewhere near Brattleboro. Who knows.

[ArchaticPipe]

Is it eventually closed or they might open for a few weeks and then close for a month. Usually Gilfs only. They repeated it in this Spring or last Winter. And on one now talk about them.I heard they reopened but it seemed like there's no one who wants to review the place. A total run-down spot.

[VTPedalPusher]

I heard they reopened but it seemed like there's no one who wants to review the place. A total run-down spot.Instead of complaining about a place getting no reviews, why don't you go to Rainbow and tell us about your experience?

The place is run by a 40 year old spinner named Sarah. She gives a good massage and has a very friendly personality.

The place is not the most modern spa you'll find, but it is clean. Funny how no one complained about the building when the old owners were running three girls with people waiting in the parking lot for their turn.

https://vermontdailychronicle.com/vermont-secretary-of-state-targets-human-trafficking-at-massage-parlors/?sfnsn=mo"According to Copeland Hanzas, police departments in Burlington and Brattleboro have reported noticing massage businesses where women who do not appear to have been born in the United States are present, along with a pattern of men frequently coming and going — activity that has raised red flags for investigators".

I may forgo my trips to Brattleboro for now until this plays out. Darnit.

[BillyBob9249]

https://vermontdailychronicle.com/vermont-secretary-of-state-targets-human-trafficking-at-massage-parlors/?sfnsn=moDoesn't really change the equation much, everyone going to an AMP needs to understand they may get arrested and charged with a crime, and these establishments are constantly at risk of getting shut down by the law. All of this was already the case before the developments in this article. Either be in a situation where an arrest and criminal charges are something you can shrug off without much harm, or do not go to an AMP.

Honestly I'd probably be going to a sexworker around once a week if that wasn't the case, but in this puritanical of a country there aren't any avenues to be a customer for a sex worker that doesn't involve putting both you and the sexworker at risk. Unless you chart a flight to Nevada, which just highlights the nonsense hypocrisy even further.

Feels like if this article changes your stance on whether or not you're going to go, you shouldn't be going in the first place.

[Goodluck65]

First of all anyone questioned is a fool to admit to anything but a massage! Also there is no law that I know of that prohibits 2 consenting adults from having sex in a private room. As long as you have not paid her for it! Therefore you only tip for the massage, mongers that ask in advance and sometimes on the phone for extras are fools. Providers would be wise to dress down ie normal clothing. If you go for a massage remember these points and for gods sake keep what happens private!

[VTPedalPusher]

I don't think you'd be at risk unless LE walks on you mid-pump, taps you on the shoulder to say 'sir, please get dressed up'." women who do not appear to have been born in the United States are present".

Our Attorney General does her legal due diligencie. How progressive!

[Goodluck65]

Can anyone explain the statement that " appear to not have been born in the united states" have to do with behavior at a massage parlor? A statement like that could be considered racist! If their search is for illegal aliens then say so I'm sure many of these women are here legally and some may even be citizens so why would the state only target asian parlors not all parlors?

[BillyBob9249]

[ARegularGuy]

They had Kraft paying for and receiving services on Camera. Quite a difference. The chances of you or an AMP worker actually getting busted are extremely low. (Unless you are driving a Bentley and own an NFL team) Consider how many illegal sex acts are occurring in the time it takes to write this post and essentially no one is getting busted in the same time frame. Even when an AMP gets busted, workers are almost always treated as victims. Owners and landlords are another matter. It is the oldest and a very popular profession.

ARG.


If they can arrest and charge Robert Kraft, they can arrest and charge you.

As soon as I saw the front page headline story in the paper I came here to see if the news had gotten out.

Although the menu was more limited at Kang Yuan, it had managed to stay open and under the radar for quite awhile.

https://thebridgevt.org/2026/03/massage-shops-under-scrutiny-reports-and-online-reviews-raise-concerns-about-illicit-activity/Honestly, opening that place on Langdon Street was a pretty idiotic move. That location was way too visible / high profile. And it drew a bunch of attention to the under-the-radar places that were in more appropriate locations.
