Cops: 'Massage therapists' charged with prostitution after Chinatown sting
Cops busted two massage parlors in Chinatown for alleged prostitution earlier this week, police announced Friday.
Undercover officers from the citywide vice unit conducted a weeklong sting beginning last week at two establishments – one on Cherry Street near 10th and another about a block away at 11th and Race streets. During the sting, police said, two women solicited the undercover cops for sex acts.
Both women, identified as Shun Yu Jin, 48, of Flushing, N.Y. and Ji Young Kim, 30, of Cherry Street near 10th, were arrested and charged with criminal solicitation and prostitution. Police said tips and complaints from citizens that illicit sex acts were being performed at the parlors led to their investigation.

I never trust those people anyway. They never pay taxes and rarely express themselves in English, but they know everything about our money. Crooks.- Like always: Made in China.— Nitroglycerin
- It really bothers me that getting a handjob after a massage is so high on the police priority list.
There are a LOT of others things and people the police should be chasing after. I guess the prostitution stings are the easy, less dangerous work.

- I ,ve read this article at least ten times and I still can,t figure out what or where a crime was committed....After all, this is PHILADELPHIA.— BandwagonBob
- instead how about our brave cops go undercover and walk down clearfield or wharton at 1am and arrest the criminals right before they murder you?— AlwaysRight
- I guess all of the homicides must be solved already if there are resources to devote to this nonsense.— person

- I hope these weren't the ladies who advertise in the back pages of the City Paper, the Inky's sister paper. We wouldn't want the Inky to be involved in such a scandal now, would we?— FletcherT
- I can MAYBE see how sexual intercourse with a prostitute would be illegal, 'cause of the spread of STDs. But why in the world would a hand-job be illegal? Makes no sense at all.— Sir John Falstaff

- Now take a look at this story which headlines the Inquirer/Daily News website; a story about two, count 'em two, Asian hookers being arrested. Is it any wonder this "newspaper" has lost all the advertisers and readers it once had? You're telling me this is the top story of the day? Sadly this paper deserves to die. It's a shame, a fraud, a ghost of what it once was. And honestly, it's not the fault of the unions, the reporters os the advertisers. The blame fall squarley on the top-level editors, the ones who allow such meaningless junk like the Asian hookers story to be "big news". Think I'm wrong? Take a look at the New York Times website, for free. It has news worth paying for, as I do. The Inquirer? fit to wrap a fish. The Daily News? Cat box filler. Judge for yourself.— johnny rotten

- I feel so much safe now that the cops have arrested these two.— warrenholly
- Thank god our fair city is now safe from professional sex workers. Now a woman can walk the Philly streets without a care any time of day or night, or merrily transport herself in comfortable and timely fashion anywhere within the metropolitan area using our state-of-the-art transit system, or, better yet, take the kiddies to play at one of Philadelphia's many "Ho-Ho-Holes," a/k/a not-quite-filled-in-yet broken-water-main caverns, now diverting traffic at key intersections within the city limits.

- Cops know that this was going on. They just need to do a bust from time to time so it looks like they are doing something.
— henry hill - The West Chester University Alumni Association has graciously offered to organize a Beef and Beer to help the defense fund. Owners of bars really close to Baltimore Ave in DelCo are asked to apply for the honor of hosting (Stanley Kup Inn we are talking to you-if you have not burned down).— Han Solo
- Someone forgot to pay off the Cops, so they got raided. Come on, everyone knows there a many "massage parlors" operating with a green light and ignored, perhaps attended, by Cops. If they got busted, its cause they didn't pay their dues. No secret here.— ro19120
- Whew, at least they didn't get the good ones.— penncrow19

I once heard a story from a friend who attended a bachelor party at a washywash...for a policeman. And it was heavily attended by other officers of the law. Since these things practically operate in plain site, these ladies must have really ticked someone off...- waste of time what adults do in privacy own business, go catch real criminals that stop me from coming into city at night and spending Money!— bigtom blew3
- One of the ladies looks like my hairdresser.— z03mbm
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO— jevans
- SOmething different is going on here. Note: Prostitution in Chinatown has gone on for ages in Phila., and the "envelope" to the police has been the price to stay in business. These women, by their names,are Korean. Either they refused to play ball with the cops or the bigger fish (tongs) that control the prostitution in C-town didn't want them around.— Henry Howard Earl of Surrey
- Another rub and tug gone.................... Is this really a crime? I think not.— Wildman Bill
- It's wrong because of the human trafficking involved, I know from working within the fed on investigations. HOWEVER, when this is going on within the SHADOWS of the Philadelphia Police Department Head quarters and has been going on for DECADES, and now they are finally making arrests, there is something going on here. Cops being "paid off" maybe to look the other way? It's ashame what my beloved city has become, I hate being down here in El Paso, TX having to read about this stuff, oh well... How about them Eagles right?— ICEInvestigator55

- my understanding is that prostitution is an accepted part of korean culture, crazy as it may seem to us westerners. for example, many koreans serviced japanese soldiers during the second world war. — hannibal barca
- its definitely not an accepted part of korean culture. koreans barely show kissing on television and have a conservative culture. — sdffa13

- vds, you know that John Street never did pay his pgw bill?— rbockman
- who cares?— rudyhuxtable
- These two and the others (asian massage parlor-brothel/traffickers) still to be raided have been advertising in CiyPaper and Philadelphia Weekly for years with the 6th Police District steps away at 11 & Vine Streets. Here's a tip to the Vice Squad about where to go next: Pick up the CityPaper and Philadelphia Weekly.— Ray10
- "Tips and complaints from citizens..." Sounds to me like either a) somebody paid and did not get their happy ending or b) somebody did and got busted by their wife...— ea517
- There probably were no such complaints or tips, and if there were, they came from within the PPD. — Thad Lawrence
- Let's bust the washy washys. Then, maybe the good citizens of Philadelphia won't see that we still haven't done anything about the $600M in delinquent property taxes that is owed to the city. Why would we put forth any effort in collecting that? Oh wait, if we collected those funds, then 60% of the homeowners would be forced to declare bankruptcy because they shouldn't have owned a house to begin with anyway...right...— vdstrading
