3 women accused of running prostitution ring out of Bridgeville massage parlor arrested

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. — Authorities arrested three women Tuesday afternoon accused of running a prostitution ring out of a Bridgeville business.

Pittsburgh and Allegheny County police, as well as the FBI, raided 88 Spa, a massage parlor on Washington Boulevard.

According to police, the alleged prostitution has been happening since the spa opened in Nov. 2011. Channel 11’s Gordon Loesch reported that investigators hauled away four trucks full of evidence, including massage tables.

Neighboring business owners told Loesch they’ve been suspicious about the spa and are glad arrests have been made.

Investigators said the three Korean-American women from out of state advertised their services on Craigslist. The arrests were made after police said the women offered sex to an undercover officer.

The names of the women arrested have not been released.
