The owner of a massage parlor in South Central Pennsylvania was arrested after being accused of using the establishment to sell customers sexual services performed by herself and her staff.

In the fall of 2023, “Operation: Closed2Trafficking” was launched in Cumberland County to try to curtail sex trafficking that was taking place in local massage parlors.

One of the employees reportedly told them that she and another woman had both taken money from customers in exchange for sexual activities. The deputies learned the other individual’s name, and they discovered that the 69-year-old woman from Newport owned a massage business called Li’s Asian Spa, also known as New Asian Spa. They purported that illegal activity was going on there as well, and they began investigating the establishment.

An online search was conducted, and the authorities reportedly saw several reviews posted for Li’s where the presumed clients mentioned trading money for sexual pleasure.

A Manchester University student with a “dark sense of humor” was arrested after allegedly sending students text messages containing gun emojis and threats.

On November 6, several students at Manchester University in North Manchester, Indiana reportedly received threatening text messages from someone they believed was their 23-year-old fellow attendee. In addition to threats to physically harm or shoot them on campus, the messages reportedly contained gun emojis. According to reports, the woman also made verbal comments to the students that were interpreted as threats to shoot them in class.

Some of the students began reporting the situation to the school in emails, and they said they felt vulnerable to potential gun violence since the campus was not secure enough for them to believe they would be protected in the event of a dangerous incident. They also said that many students chose not to come forward because they feared they would put themselves at greater risk if they reported the situation. Screenshots of some of the allegedly threatening text messages were attached to the emails.

Two law enforcement officers in Boston are facing multiple charges after the authorities allegedly discovered that they were running an unlicensed after-hours club in a basement.

According to reports, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, an HVAC company was rented out by two officers; one from the Boston Police Department and the other from the Boston Public Health Commission Campus Police. The officers allegedly transformed the basement in their Jamaica Plain neighborhood building into a functioning nightclub, but they reportedly did not obtain the licensing to do so. Advertisements for the establishment were posted online, and those who paid the cover charge to enter were allegedly able to partake in activities such as smoking out of hookahs, a DJ, and other high-priced standard club services.

The nightclub reportedly ran for several months without incident, but on July 10, 2021, a fight on the premises ushered in the beginning of the end.
