Greenfield police sent undercover officers into a massage parlor being investigated as a front for prostitution.


King Massage in Greenfield is sandwiched between a toy store and a dentist office, but police say its public face is just a facade -- a front for prostitution.

"I think any time the department sees an unsavory business activity or activities in general that are going on, it's something the city wants to avoid." Greenfield police Detective Jason Birschbach said.

Police recently sent undercover officers to the business, and according to a search warrant obtained by WISN 12 News, sex acts were performed twice, leading to the arrest of two workers.

"Do we want our city to be known for 'Hey, here's a place where we have 10 massage parlors where you can get something extra after the massage?' Is that something that we want to be known for? Is that something that your community wants to get known for?" Birschbach said.

WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr went to the business Tuesday afternoon, but he was told the owner wasn't available.

Immediately after Bohr left, they locked the front door and turned off their neon light. It remains to be seen whether the businesses, and others like it, will close down for good.

"Ideally, we'd like to stop it all together. We know that's not going to be the case, but like I said, it would be nice to make it harder for them to do business as usual," Birschbach said.

So far no criminal charges have been filed in that case, but police said they're hoping their investigation will lead the business to shut down.
