Ohio
Miami-Dade police conducted a massive raid on massage parlors they claim were a hotbed of prostitution.
Called "Operation Fallen Angel," the raid focused on seven parlors throughout Miami-Dade and Broward, all owned and run by Michael Angelini.
Angelini, 47, of Miami Beach, three managers, and six of his ladies were all busted in the operation that went down around 2 p.m. yesterday, and were charged with racketeering, money laundering and prostitution.
"The girls that were working inside the massage parlors were giving happy endings," said Sgt. Nicole Donnelly, with the Miami-Dade Police Dept.

The services were called "body scrubs," police said, and the operation, which had been running for over a decade brought in between $30,000 and $40,000 per month for Angelini.
Among the other arrested were Dereck Greenberg, 36, Katherine Area, 30, and Michelle Bonilla, 25.
"All of his massage parlors were all set up to sell beauty supplies and throughout all the massage parlors, nothing was being sold," Donnelly said. "It's still against the law, it's still prostitution."

From all apperances, consenting adults, in private, engaged in acts with each other.
to see to it all us 'unwashed and unsaved' types behave to their standards. WTF, do these people even care whether we want them to tell us how to behave??? some day someone should set them down and tell them it's our sex lives, not theirs, and if they don't like it they should move somewhere with a government that shares their views. hell, I'd even chip in to cover the cost of sending these clowns off to Iran or Saudi Arabia!
I swear that sometimes LE is fucking clueless. It's not the "body scrubs" that are illegal...it's the sucking & fucking that goes after the "massage" part is done waaaay later.
"Operation Fallen Angel" should really be called "Operation This Economy Sucks".
And
"All of his massage parlors were all set up to sell beauty supplies and throughout all the massage parlors, nothing was being sold," Donnelly said.
Reminds me of the 'lingerie modelling' shops in Rockford, IL. There's like 4 or 5 with a few items for sale at the front of each; I bet they don't do $100 a day in sales of those items.
