  • 15 Women Arrested in Prostitution/Human Trafficking
    Ken Thompson Press Office District Attorney 718-250-2300 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, December 4, 2014 15 Women Arrested In Prostitution/Human Trafficking Investigation Of Brooklyn Massage Parlors Search Warrants Executed at Nine Massage Parlors/Spas in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst After Community Complaints; Locations Padlocked By City Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson, together with New York City Police Commissioner William J. Bratton, today announced that 15 employees and managers of nine massage parlors in Brooklyn were arrested on prostitution and promoting prostitution charges following a long-term investigation. District Attorney Thompson said, “We conducted these raids and made these arrests because the good people of Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst are sick and tired of these dens of prostitution, masquerading as legitimate businesses, popping up in our communities.” Commissioner Bratton said, “As a result of these arrests, we hope to address the issue of prostitution in these communities and the possibility that these individuals may be victims of human trafficking. The New York City Police Department, in partnership with the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, remains committed to improving the quality of life for residents and stopping those who profit from the exploitation of others.” The District Attorney said that nine defendants were charged in criminal complaints with misdemeanor prostitution, two were charged with promoting prostitution, and 10 were variously charged with providing unlicensed massage services, a felony. The District Attorney said that, in today’s takedown, authorities entered the premises to make arrests and execute search warrants. They were joined by the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement, which includes inspectors from the Fire Department and the Department of Buildings.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has directed the Department of Public Service to broad- en an investigation it is currently conducting into the moratorium and to consider alternatives to National Grid as a franchisee for some or all of the areas it currently serves if the problem is not resolved. For more on this story, go to page 10. IMPEACHMENT-KEEN Demonstrators held a protest rally outside U.S. Rep. Max Rose’s Bay Ridge office late last month to urge the pol to back the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Rose, who won his seat in 2018 and has earned a reputation as a centrist willing to work across the aisle on certain issues, has steadfastly refused to back impeachment.
