Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Sounds;7411087]I don't know how the shops advertised their services.

If they advertised as bodywork, they do not need a massage license.[/QUOTE]Has nothing to do with licenses, that's just the legal way to shut down down now. The mayor has been all over the AM news the last week saying they are going on a crusade to shut down human trafficking.

I would love to see some residents track this promise, and in a year or so, publicly shame the mayor when (Surprise!) it turns out no trafficking charges were ever pursued.

[QUOTE=Flash88;7411259]Has nothing to do with licenses, that's just the legal way to shut down down now. [/QUOTE]But why do they need a legal way? If there is human trafficking going on, why would they shut a spa down for something else?

[QUOTE=ChoirBoy;7411777]But why do they need a legal way?

I'm not a lawyer, but how does a city go after the customers if the store is closed for code violations. It seems to me they are sending out mixed messages, which cannot be helping their legal case.

I feel trafficking rarely gets tried. Because you almost never hear about such cases in the news. But it's a great justification for going after businesses which is really shutting down prostitution which makes the Karens happy and lets a mayor try to milk the PR from it. I feel like the licensing violation is the way to shut the entire operation down (not just targeting an individual) to keep it out of business temporarily or permanently.

[QUOTE=Sounds;7411087]If they advertised as bodywork, they do not need a massage license.[/QUOTE]It depends on the town / city. They can make the rules more strict if they want. Some towns require massage licenses for bodywork as well. Some towns add some really asinine rules to help stop shops from opening.

I have had enough interaction with them to know that what the city needs is evidence, and they don't have any. All they have is a neighborhood Karen who has to much time on her hands whining and complaining.

Since they are not zoned for residential / mixed use, that is a code violation. For the BTT stuff they were claiming that the fact that someone either paid for their airline ticket or drove them in a van across state lines, that's trafficking. Never mind the girls were doing it voluntarily.

Anyone know if this place has closed? I've tried texting this weekend a couple of times and no replies.

I am an NH monger that has never strayed over the border. Are there any parlors down in Mass that offer Hispanic or dark skinned girls? I could use the change of pace.

Thanks.

That said I have not seen much promising in non Asian in a while.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]In a few of the dedicated area forums (e. G. Boston, Worcester) there is sometimes a "Non-Asian Massage Parlor Reports" forum you can check. But for the most part, AFAIK there really aren't any reports on here for them.
