Simsbury police have arrested a woman accused of prostitution in connection with a local massage parlor and say they expect more arrests.
Police said they started an investigation into the Green Reflexology massage parlor on Farms Village Road in February when they received a call from a concerned citizen.
“He said he went in for a massage. During the massage the woman offered several services to him for a fee," explained Sgt. Greg Samselski of the Simsbury Police Department.
Samselski said after surveillance of the business and other investigation, police decided to send in an undercover officer.
“We had video surveillance of the building. We were watching it for a couple of weeks. We saw there was a lot of traffic going in and out there. So eventually we determined we needed to send someone in there to actually see if these services were actually being performed.”
Simsbury police said the officer was propositioned for sexual favors by an employee.
That employee, identified as 50-year-old Miae Park, of Whitestone, New York, was arrested and charged with prostitution.
