The ads on Craigslist offer a “licensed beautiful Asian staff giving you a warm therapeutic massage.” The Cook County Sheriff’s police say that it was a house of prostitution.
Christy Chin, 37, of Northbrook, the alleged owner of Therapy Spa at 3334 W Peterson Ave. in Chicago was charged with keeping a place of prostitution, prostitution and giving a massage without a license.
The charges are the result of an undercover operation by the Cook County Sheriff’s police in which Chin allegedly offered to perform a sex act on an undercover officer on his second visit to the spa. No offer was made on the officer’s first visit; it was made after he became a returning client.
Chin is scheduled to be in court in Skokie on April 30 and Chicago officials are looking into if the spa was properly licensed.

It's for cases like this that we developed Cyber Flag Day. On Wed 3/10 we intend, with our volunteers, to flag for removal thousands of Craigslist prostitution ads.
