Court Docs: Workers Engaged In Sexual Activities At Indy Massage Business
UPDATE Models Massage admitted to operating a massage establishment without obtaining a license in Indianapolis and Marion County. The business will pay a civil penalty of $500 along with court costs of $135. The defendant is permanently enjoined from operating a massage establishment without first obtaining a license.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Models Massage, a massage therapy business on Indianapolis northeast side, cannot currently operate after a court granted the citys request for a preliminary injunction.
FOX59 first reported on Models Massage in February, when neighbors complained about its late-night hours.
Court documents say a few days before IMPD raided the business in July, two separate workers at the business engaged in massage therapy and sexual activities with a client who was an undercover IMPD detective.
At the time, IMPD told us someone was given a summons, but no one was arrested.
The court documents also claim the business was operating without a license. Models Massage is facing two counts of ordinance violation for operating without a license.
In August, Models Massage applied for a license to operate as a massage establishment. The city denied the request because of pending charges against the business.
A few days later, the city inspected Models Massage, and the report said not all therapists employed were licensed by the state of Indiana.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning to discuss the appeal.
