A beauty parlour offering sexual services to massage customers has been shut down and fined more than £3,000. Massage therapists were caught offering sex acts to men after carrying out treatments.
Undercover Trading Standards officers launched a sting operation by buying two massage therapies at Rain Therapy Centre at Skylines Village on the Isle of Dogs, east London. Both times, the female therapist offered the male officer sexual services following the massage, Tower Hamlets Council said.
Director Li Wa Hodgkinson, 54, of South Norwood, south east London, along with the registered company, Acu & Herbs Ltd, were both prosecuted for two offences by the authority. Hodgkinson was charged with two counts of breaking the terms of the licence for the premises by making sure it's not "used by prostitutes, for soliciting, or any other immoral purpose".
