WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa.,None — Search warrants were served at two massage parlors in Washington County according to Washington County District Attorney Steve Toprani.
According to the search warrant, the parlors were being investigated for prostitution, indecent assault and other related offenses.
Channel 11's Dave Bondy said that two women and one man were taken into custody at Ancient Asian Relaxation Therapy located on West Chestnut Street.
The search warrant had the name of Christopher R. Lee as the owner of the business. According to the search warrant Lee is licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. Seized from the business was a computer and $690.
Bondy talked to the owner of the building who said Lee used to operate out of the Washington Crown Center Mall.
"The fact that they were in the mall and had a very visible place there and the fact that they seemed very legitimate, I put those fears aside and was convinced that that was a legitimate operation or I would not have had anything to do with it," said Michael Passalacqua.
Police said a business owned by Lee was also raided in Claysville.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were also involved in the raid, said Toprani.
