NYC Spa busted as brothel by NYPD
- An East Village massage parlor in NYC was discovered to be operating as a brothel by the NYPD.
- Undercover cops exposed the illegal activities taking place at the spa.
- The spa was shut down following the police investigation.
The Sun Shy Spa, located on East 6th Street, is under scrutiny from city officials for allegedly operating as a clandestine sex den, with potential fines reaching thousands of dollars for each day of operation. The investigation began in November following a 911 call that reported prostitution activities at the establishment. Subsequent undercover visits by NYPD officers revealed that the spa was offering sexual services, with prices quoted at $200 and $270 for various acts. During these undercover operations, officers approached a female masseuse who provided quotes for sexual intercourse and oral sex. However, all three officers exited the spa without engaging in any sexual acts or receiving massage therapy, promptly reporting their findings to their teams. The court documents indicate that the spa's illicit services were widely advertised on various websites, which openly identified Sun Shy Spa as a venue for "special encounters." One site, World Escorts Hub, promoted the spa with enticing descriptions, while another boasted of "HIGHLY TRAINED 1000% YOUNG GIRLS." The spa's own website echoed these claims, featuring advertisements for "young & professional Asian technicians." Reviews on platforms like Google suggested a more benign experience, with one user stating they always left feeling relaxed, contrasting sharply with the allegations of illegal activities. As the investigation unfolds, the spa's reputation continues to be scrutinized, with some community members noting that it remains one of the few establishments of its kind in the East Village, following the closure of several others in the area.
