Shocking: UES Massage Parlor Charged For Sex

In a move that apparently shocked nobody on the block, cops busted a massage parlor on East 78th Street on Monday for charging customers for sex. Cops raided the den and charged Wangshan Ye, 22, and Le Zhou, 40, for prostitution. Upstairs neighbor Derek Karney told the Daily News, "Everyone in the building knows what's going on in there. This place has adult ads on craigslist." The shop, which had only been open for about two months advertised "magic massage—beautiful girl," "high tone Asian acupressure," and "most excellent care." We wonder how many roses they charged?

WHY- is paying fore sex (prostitution!) an illegal activity?!

So how about when I take a woman out on a date- go to a great restaurant for a great meal- maybe go to a club afterwards. . . and then wind up at her apartment- IN BED! Is that 'paying for sex'? As an otherwise lay-abiding tax-paying citizen- should I turn myself in and throw myself on the mercy of the court?!

So how 'bout the guy who's on a diet, doesn't go to clubs, and is not a great conversationalist and just want to get laid or jerked off?! So NO SEX FOR HIM?! Again- What Bullshit!

This sounds like they either (A) didn't pay their protection money or (B) a cop was denied sex for free. Why else would they only bust one of the bajillion parlors in this city?

C. Because they were indiscreet in a fancy part of town that donates a lot of money to politicians.

There is a 24/7 "Asian massage" place in the East Village, on 6th St, between Ave. A and B. Looks like a brothel; does anyone have any inside info?

"cops raided the den".

Why is it always a den? When does an apartment become a den? When you have sex in it?

militza

that means ANY place could become a den.

Wangshan Ye & Le Zhou: The law abiding citizens of New York have had enough. No longer will you terrorize our streets & corrupt our children with your shameful professional services.

Next time, tape your sex acts, stream them online and make money off the ads. That's much easier & legal!
