Cops: 'Massage therapists' charged with prostitution after Chinatown sting

POSTED: Friday, January 11, 2013, 12:39 PM

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.

    It's "washy-washy". The Tonner was hoping to get his spine aligned and johnson rod straightened too. Oh well, the Tonner will have to go to one of those European joints.

    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...

    "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...

    There probably were no such complaints or tips, and if there were, they came from within the PPD.

    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.
