State police are executing search warrants on four AMPs and one residence. Focus is on HT and prostitution.
They didn't make any arrests because they didn't find any evidence of human trafficking or prostitution.
Why did they not find any. Well its simple. The parlors around here hire girls that come here on their own accord and you can't be arrested for giving a massage. As most people notice there isn't really a lot of prostitution around here since these places run on the cleaner side. All of these are nosey girl neighbors that call when they see a shit load of cars in and out of places. Just like some users have mentioned about the TOP oriental in Mishawaka.
To be honest I think when people see Asian massage parlors that instantly think human trafficking and hookers because they are Asian. This could be called racist and probably is as you don't see any other places being raided.

[QUOTE=SBGamer;5977706]I can confirm this her. I saw her once and that is indeed her. Probably seeing a client and something went south.[/QUOTE]Be careful with statements like that. Sure, we all think it. But we have no idea what else she was mixed up in. And it could have been random, like a robbery or something. But suggesting it was a client is skirting pretty close to an accusation around here.
I guarantee you 100% law enforcement monitors these forums, and saying that coupd cause them to start investigating people here. If they are not already.

The following information about the searches that took place at four St. Joseph County massage businesses and a home has been released by St. Joseph County Sheriff Bill Redman:
As part of an ongoing investigation, yesterday police and state investigators simultaneously entered with warrants and searched four local massage parlor locations and a residence on Buckhorn Drive in South Bend, all properties are owned or operated by the same individual.
Police and state investigators suspect human trafficking, sexual solicitation and tax fraud has been occurring at these four massage businesses.
As part of yesterday's 14-hour search, investigators seized dozens of boxes totaling thousands of pages of financial records. Investigators interviewed 9 business customers and 12 suspected female victims, along with business owners and managers. Police also seized cash from the five locations totaling over $88,000. 00.
Multiple women were living inside each business location. Interviews of the women were conducted by a Chinese Mandarin interpreter. Through the interpreter investigators were able to confirm that at least some of the women had been trafficked and were being held and forced to work against their will.
Multiple women also confirmed that sexual activity had occurred with customers. Currently at least two women requested help, have been removed from the business location, are being provided aide, and will be assisted returning to their country of origin.
This is a continuing and ongoing investigation. At this time no arrests have been made.
The warrants were served at massage parlors at the following locations:
421 Hickory Road, South Bend.
12670 SR 23, Granger.
50795 SR 933 and. , South Bend.
2614 S. Michigan, South Bend.
"I want to start by thanking the Indiana State Police, the Indiana Department of Revenue, the Battle Ground Police Department and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for their assistance with this investigation," Sheriff Bill Redman began. "Yesterday's raids are just one more step in this complex investigation. We will be continuing to work closely with the State Police and State Tax Investigators as we work on building criminal charges," Redman continued.
"These investigations are not quick nor easy. The crimes are committed behind doors and people will not generally talk. Yesterday, we were fortunate to have some of the women come forward, tell investigators what was occurring behind closed doors and ask for assistance returning home. I commend all involved in the investigation to this point. There is more work to do, but yesterday was a big win for at least two women forced to live and work in these massage parlors. ".
Best and new impressions were closed today, going to try a couple others but damn.
See news and media reports.
I figured with how much attention to was getting from the neighbors I figured they would get at least a visit. Mishawaka is usually super strict on this stuff. It's probably good everyone takes a little break and wait for things to reopen.
Some info.
Haven't seen anything posted in here yet about this, anyone else know about this? I just found out.

[QUOTE=SimplySkilled;5980923]Some info.[/QUOTE]WOW! I'm of the standpoint, if the girls (as stated) were being trafficked, held against thier will and being forced to work. I'm glad they got busted!

Uncle saying 'human trafficking' to the media grabs a whole lot more attention (not to mention helping get federal funds) than just busting them for misdemeanor prostitution which, in and of itself, is a little sketchy if all that's happening are pricey HEs by wrinkly old Asian grandmas. Not to mention it's an election year.
Don't forget no arrests we're made. And asian owners won't complain if they loose their money.
