Raid on Illicit Massage Spas Exposes Trafficking | Portland News

Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Keizer police, alongside multiple agencies, shut down three massage parlors—Joy Foot Spa, Silk Love, and Nine Spa—on River Road North after months of investigation, uncovering evidence of prostitution, seizing $26,000, and issuing citations for illegal operations. These raids expose a troubling pattern: illicit massage businesses often mask sex trafficking, where victims—sometimes lured from overseas—are trapped in exploitation. Local groups like Safety Compass are vital in rescuing and supporting survivors, emphasizing that ending demand for commercial sex is essential to stopping trafficking. This operation is a critical step, but lasting change demands community awareness and systemic action to dismantle the networks enabling this abuse.
