CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Three women accused of conducting prostitution out of a massage parlor in Butler County faced a judge Friday morning.

Last week, authorities raided the Chinese Foot Massage parlor on Dutilh Road in Cranberry Township after neighbors complained about the business. Investigators loaded a storage truck with tables, computers and guns, and police said more than $100,000 in cash was found.

The women charged in the investigation each waived their preliminary hearings Friday and a judge reduced their bonds, which were posted. A translator was on hand to assist because attorneys were concerned about a language barrier.
