Worcester police investigating death at massage parlor.

Worcester, MASS. (WHDH) - A massage parlor in Worcester was taped off on Thursday as police launched a death investigation on Pleasant Street.

Officers could be seen blocking the entrance to Angies Bodywork Spa at 383 Pleasant Street on Thanksgiving, after the Worcester Police Department responded to the scene sometime during the early afternoon.

Details on the nature of the death have not yet been released, with a spokesperson for the department only confirming that a death investigation was underway and that additional info would be released later in the day.

"The Worcester Police Department stated they plan to continue working with the Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement agencies on similar sting operations in the future. These operations will expand to include private residences as well as hotels within and around the city of Worcester."

Love the part where they make it point to state they'll be targeting private residences. Not likely. That's all a lame attempt to try and curb (scare) people from using a house / apartment / condo for the hobby.

Busting traffickers. Give me a # at $% break. How does busting a 'John' affect a trafficker? Same old press BS.

Meanwhile the Gov. Of Maine recently signed a bill into law Monday that will eliminate penalties for those who sell sex while leaving in place laws against the purchase of it.

And they needed the Department of Homeland Security? Expand to include private residences? Good luck with that one.

One this is clear, they don't have any idea of what real human trafficking looks like. A sting like this is going to do little. They should be meeting with the providers that are most likely to be victims of trafficking and follow the trail to the real traffickers. My observation of the business in general is that people being trafficked tend to be at the high end, have managers, screeners and rake in a fair amount of cash.

ARG.

WORCESTER, MAAn undercover operation on Friday night resulted in the arrest of nine, including a man from Natick, charged with soliciting prostitutes in downtown Worcester.

Worcester's vice squad set up an undercover operation targeting those looking to pay for sexual conduct in the Main South area. With undercover officers acting as decoys, it netted the arrest of nine men.

I always thought those ads were legit going through some sort agency.

But if I was quoted 50 $ 1st time, it's big question mark.

Mmmh. I found those Ads questionable and never gave them any thoughts. There is still one left and very tempting. Good points you make when looking at any Ad.

[Fuhgetaboudit]

Described in detail at this link, and how the sting operation was carried out through Craigslist and the process used, feel bad for the poor mongers:

Provides yet another example of them using the tactic of calling the cell phone for verification, a good reason to not keep your cell phone on when arriving at or near meeting places.

My suggestion is that you should change your number.

I think I texted back and forth with " her"! Pics were of hot little brunette. Rates were cheap! Almost pulled the trigge. Thank God I didn't.

I'm guessing the ads were the ones that listed the location as Northboro, Southboro, Shrewsbury. Those ads are all gone now. No online reviews? No ads from other locations? No hits on the photos? No referral from a fellow monger? Or Potentially TGTBT? = No Dice, I'm not risking it.
