I'd seen the ads but fortunately not the one I was looking at but a similar set up in a strip mall... actually a small plaza with several strip mall like buildings with multiple units. The raid was in conjunction with a local TV News expose'. A TV interview with the clerks at a nearby store stated they saw beds being moved in which was unexpected for a massage facility. Three women were arrested. 2 patrons were let go, stating there was no proof they'd done anything wrong.
I'm not sure of the take away from this. This is another small town...
PM Sent
News reports indicate 1 gal charged with solicitation & lack of a state Massage License, the second gal with lack of Massage Licence license, third gal released (no charges mentioned).
I note the advertizing was for "Body Rubs". Never the less they were arrested. Me thinks the terminology was no protection.
2 Customers were released (not the release they went there for I imagine) without charges.

This AMP was in a small RI town where they stood out like a sore thumb. Not a wise place to set up business.

I mentioned MY uneasiness over a different small town MP in a thread below. I was trying to quantify strip malls as being excessively risky but I received PMs that many MPs are so located. My sense is that bigger cities, busier locations blend the traffic into the hub-bub of daily life... mor maybe no one cares?! The proximity to normal retail establishments increases the chances of a do-gooder stumbling on it. Then there is the advertizing... which specifies location. Talk about a taget on your back!!
Some risks are not worth taking!
