Have you been there?  Just like to know how LE knew it was more than just massage parlor?

google Ramsey sunlight arrest

if a handjob is considered a sexual service, then yes, paying for and being paid for a sexual service is prostitution.

It is time we moved beyond these ridiculous puritanical statutes and allow personal freedoms in our state.  Where is Jesse Ventura when we need him?!?  Help, Jesse, Help!

609.321 PROSTITUTION DEFINITIONS.  
Subdivision 1.Scope. For the purposes of sections 609.321 to 609.325, the following terms have the meanings given.

but they must not have liked me cause I did not get the prohibited service described in the newspaper.

They can arrest you just for intending to do it even if the act never happens.  That's why you never want to talk about money and acts together.

Anyone know if the Ramsey or North Branch bust is related to the Cherry K. Blossom agency listed on TER?  Potentially the reason the two providers profiles were pulled?

I would add that the crime of prostitution occurs when an agreement or offer of a sexual act in exchange for money happens.  Whether or not the act actually takes place is not relevant.

I believe that Jesse is living in Mexico and keeping busy suing Chris Kyles widow.

You can also tell the voters you get your legal advice here.  Im sure they'll be impressed.

And yes unfortunately even agreeing to just a massage can land you in trouble too. Completely ridiculous!

Is if you gentlemen would STOP writing detailed reviews on that other site that has the initials R.M. and STOP speaking freely about brick & mortar locations on any forum as it's public, anyone can see it.  
I hate seeing the many mongers here and there discuss about discretion, safety and how they need "utmost privacy" repeated ad nauseum but can't even hold up their end of the deal by respecting a massage parlor or providers need for utmost discretion and privacy.

Isn't this a matchmaking place for you to find Asian brides? They help with visas for those that are interested. I have no knowledge of any age disclaimer on the site.

One thing which has always bothered me about the introduction of the internet to this endeavor is the junior high attitude of the consumers.  One only needs to say yes, it's worth a visit.  Best is to just PM amongst yourselves.  

So I'll just say...

that names no names just lets LE know that they should hassle every massage lady out there because YMMV exists!

I know through someone else that the spa next door to the asian massage place was noticing a lot of traffic next door.  They noticed lots of men going in and out of the place.  They alerted the police which then started the investigation.  Not really smart to start your business next to a legitimate business of the same kind.  Especially in a smaller town like North Branch.

Great point. While certain explicit review sites don't help, the main cause of avoidable investigations/busts is poor spa site location. Any location where there are soccer moms, kids or church ladies within line of sight is going to get more scrutiny.

Any traffic is too much in that area.  
I mean it's not a busy town at all.
Also, doubting they're saving any "trafficked" women and that's what pisses me off most.  
Pffft using sex workers & humiliating gentlemen for these pathetic crusades to produce clickbait so all those bleeding heart right-wing Christians have something to read and judge to which I can assure you.... Behind closed doors, They are all on Fet-Life or ALT.planning their next daddy-dom heteronormative mini bear spring mixer . haha

Vi I absolutely love how you vividly describe the right-wing Christian mentality.  Couldn't have put it better myself.

...individual liberties than the right wingnuts could ever dream of. Just ask Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid their views on legalized prostitution. It'll turn your stomach. There are no politicians of either major party who have the guts to support a libertarian attitude toward legalized P4P.

... I'm really sorry to have to admit you are pretty much correct. It's not really about principal for the politicians, it's about having the courage to lead. Instead of admitting that criminalizing prostitution only fosters the victimization of vulnerable women, and accepting the examples of Australia and New Zealand which clearly show that legalization works, our politicians of all stripes cravenly grasp at the pretext that will please their most vociferous and unreasonable constituents. It's the easy way out of the issue and they'll keep doing it until someone figures a way to follow in the footprints of the Legalize Pot movement.
