This is a human trafficking case, not a sex case.
[QUOTE=BeachBum15;4238976]Can't speak for Decatur but Health Massage on Univ has even been legit. Matter of fact. Except for Mei (and that place is pretty much like all the rest now) you can't find anyone willing to more than smile and tuck the towel tighter. This sounds more like the non-AMP owners trying to drive all AMPs from the Valley. The article speaks of 'complaints' of sexual services. REALLY! I smell some 'organized' harassment targeting one segment of the massage business that has always been vulnerable. I've been to non-AMP shops and frankly they just don't provide the same 'atmosphere' I enjoy with the CAMPs and KAMPs. Unless they pulled a 'surveillance' sting like down in FL. This won't amount to much more then drive legitimate business out of the State.[/QUOTE][URL]http://www.waff.com/2019/04/19/business-halted-north-al-massage-parlors-suspected-human-trafficking/[/URL]
It seems clear that Foot Massage Madison's practices brought a spotlight on the whole Chinese massage "empire" and has led to their closing. I do not think there will be any evidence of sexual activities at the other locations. It is sad that the workers that have been moved to other cities will not get to share in the compensation from Alabama's civil action.
Maybe we all need to step back and look at the situation from the worker's viewpoint. The workers are here because of coercion, they work 7 day weeks, 12 hour days, and for no real compensation. By frequenting these establishments we are allowing them to continue to exist. It is hard to identify them as "legitimate business". Eventually they will probably all be closed as slavery was banned centuries ago. We can keep getting asian massages, but we should not look at our visits as a "transaction between two consenting adults". Just my two cents.
MM.
I was thinking the same thing.
I saw the same place yesterday. I was going to stop in to see if they accepted insurance. I've needed a good acupuncturist that takes insurance for a while that's not all the way in Elkmont. Maybe I'll have a shot to get over there this weekend.
[QUOTE=BeachBum15;4238984]Noticed a new shop that perhaps just opened in the plaza south of Bob W and Jordan. Sign says Ace Acupuncture and Massage (something like that). Might check it out unless others have a report.[/QUOTE]
Any reports on legitimacy
Anyone with info on this provider it almost looks TGTBT she does not advertise anywhere else like Kelly or Alex.
