Officers received complaints about patrons allegedly drinking alcohol in and around the building and half-dressed women opening the doors for clients overnight, according to police.

An undercover officer scheduled an appointment, waited for an employee to unlock the doors and the employee took him to a room, police said.

The officer reported that the employee asked if the officer wanted a half hour or full hour massage and said a half hour massage cost $130, according to police.

The officer asked if the massage was full service and the employee allegedly said the price included a massage and a sexual act, police said. The officer signaled to enforcement officers that a sexual act had been offered for money and the employee was placed into custody, according to police.

A city inspector issued a cease and desist order for the establishment / business closure, and numerous citations also were issued, according to police.[/QUOTE][URL]https://publicsearch1.chicagopolice.org/Arrests/Details/18500926[/URL]

Not much of a looker.

I'd think it was embellished to create a false sense of urgency to get the place checked out as it completely clashes with every place I have ever been to over the course of many years.

I've been to this location once and the lady opened the door in yoga pants.

Ok I want to read what you fellas have been saying about this although I also want to relate to you a story that was told to me by one of my strippers. Loved that chick. Just don't wake her up while walking around her crib. You'll wind up gone. Any who. First office in schaumburg and booking strippers and waitresses. This lady comes into my office with a newspaper clipping and shows me after we sit down and bs. She says oh this is me. I knew her real name anyway and some of her background. She got busted down. What happened is fuzz came in partied enjoyed themselves thoroughly and after all was said and done and they were well drained. My girl and her girls got busted. She did not freak though she did ask the head guy why. He said look we have clocked in all these hours on this and if we don't come back in to the barn with some collars it's our necks on the line. And she and the lovelies were then arrested. She bonded herself and them out and then continued on. Now I will sit the f down shut the f up and read. Oldman stosh.

[QUOTE=Chicago41;7532484]Jesus just leave consenting adults alone![/QUOTE]Unfortunately with everyone walking around looking into their phone with the camera and video capabilities everyone is in everyone else's business. There's more to this. Will we ever find out? We shall see what we shall see. As long as they are not causing issues in the hood I don't see a problem. Someone will create something soon and just like with my flea market adventures some screw ball politican will show up for a quick photo op and then never be heard from or seen again. Leaving the poor vendors no place to sell. And they went through all of the hoops with the city. Glad I am out of the double hockey sticks place. Give piece I mean peace a chance. Not my thing though who cares. Maybe with all that is going on politically nationally this is just blow black. Thanks fellas as usual just babbling. Oldman stosh.

Okay was this known here? It was fresh news to me.[/QUOTE]Both of the named dungeons and their legal issues have been discussed here. There are several other bdsm themed businesses / places that have been operating for years now. The unnamed business mentioned in the article may be one of them trying to make changes in their business model or some new place. Seems odd to me that if it is a new place that they are not following the established protocols used by the existing places and opened themselves up to oversite.

Chicago police issued an alert Thursday about a rash of criminal sexual assaults that have happened on one block on Chicago's West Side, committed by a man who lures his victims by setting up dates through an escort app.

The sexual assaults happened between Sunday, Oct. 26,2025, and Thursday, Feb. 26,2026, in the 5600 block of West Washington Boulevard in the South Austin neighborhood, police said.

The victims were women whom the attacker had come to him after arranging a date on an escort application, police said.

Once the women arrived at the prearranged location, the man pulled out a handgun and sexually assaulted them, police said.

Police did not specify how many women were victimized, nor did they provide more information the escort application involved.
