Indianapolis Escorts: 13 Massage Parlors Targeted In Indianapolis Sweep
INDIANAPOLIS — Thirteen Indianapolis massage parlors were targeted in a multi-agency sweep on Monday as part of the city’s effort to curb prostitution at those businesses.
The parlors were targeted because of the nature of their advertising, the number of prior police runs and arrests there, 6News’ Jack Rinehart reported.
Six of the parlors had prostitution arrests last week. Some of the businesses had multiple violations, including a lack of proper business licenses and licenses for therapists. Some violated the fire code, along with zoning issues and sign violations.

There was a prostitution arrest at DX Spa, in the 5100 block of South Emerson Avenue last week. Officials said the business didn’t have proper licenses, that its signs were in violation of city code and that there were lighting issues and fire code violations in the building.
