New York Massage Parlors: Today’s Post, Aug. 25: Police shut down house of prostitution in North Massapequa
A Flushing woman, who police say operated an illegal massage parlor and house of prostitution in North Massapequa, was arrested yesterday. The arrest took place following an undercover operation at 645 Broadway.
Charged in that incident was Min Jung Kwon, 51 of Sanford Ave., Flushing. Operating on information provided to them, police from Nassau County’s narcotics and vice bureau sent undercover officers to Smile Body Works at 645 Broadway where they were offered sexual acts for a fee. They subsequently arrested Kwon for prostitution. In addition, police said Kwon was not licensed to practice acupuncture, and was later charged with unauthorized practice.

“It was a little obvious,” said an employee of Nationwide Insurance of the activities he witnessed outside the illegal massage parlor. “There were a lot of weird guys hanging around. They’d ring the doorbell, walk away and then walk back a little later.”
