WICHITA, Kan. A Wichita massage parlor shuts down after a prostitution arrest earlier this month.
Two women were arrested Jan. 5 at a massage parlor on West Central near Tyler. Arrest records show both women are charged with working without a massage license. One of them was also charged with prostitution.
Wednesday, the owner of a Pilates studio next to the massage parlor discussed how her business suffered because of its neighbor.
Amie Ross says her business, Studio 54 Pilates, suffered for months as dozens of men went in and out of the massage parlor each day. She says she's relieved the massage parlor is closed and hopes the women involved get the help they need.
In August, Ross says a big, red, hand-painted "Massage" sign was placed under the sign for her business.
Ross says she knew something wasn't right about the business that moved in next door to her studio. She says she took a screen shot of an online ad for the massage parlor advertising a $19.99 massage. Concerned, she emailed an image of the ad to Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell.
The online ad read in part, "HOT HOT HOT," and offered to "Exceed Expectations."
Ross says within 24 hours of the massage parlor opening, police were involved, but it took five months to make an arrest. It was during this time, she says, her business suffered.
"It absolutely hurt business. I lost some clients," Ross says.
Some didn't feel safe with the added traffic next door.
"There were two times that I actually called my husband and had him come down here and meet me to walk me out," Ross says.
But Ross says the hardest part was watching 20 to 30 men go through the doors of the massage parlor each day.
"I'm supposed to be helping women, and there's women right next door and I can't help them," Ross says.
She says men still show up and try to get inside the closed massage parlor, but knowing its doors are locked for good is comforting.
"We have hope again, which is wonderful," Ross says.
Ross says her business has already picked back up in just the few weeks since police shut down the massage parlor.
The City of Wichita last year passed an ordinance requiring all massage therapists to be licensed. In 2016, Wichita police conducted 37 compliance checks at massage businesses and wrote two citations.
If you suspect a massage business is not legitimate, police ask that you report it to them and they will look into it.
