Bay Ridge massage parlor investigation is not over, DA says
The arrests of 19 people on prostitution-related charges at day spas in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights last week were just the beginning, officials said.
The arrests, which came after police and detectives from Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes’s office raided 12 day spas on July 10, were the first phase of an ongoing investigation that began a year ago, according to a statement issued by the DA’s office.
“We are committed to stopping the illegal activities of these criminal locations and to restoring confidence and safety to the communities involved. I will continue the fight against promoting prostitution, as well as all the crimes that flow from these activities,” Hynes said.
