Prostitution Sting Shuts Down Rainbow Acupressure
Authorities allege Rainbow Acupressure owner Hye Morgan ran the College Drive massage parlor as a facade for prostitution.
A College Drive massage parlor was shut down by authorities earlier this month after its owner and an employee were charged in a prostitution sting.
A joint investigation by Gloucester Township Police Department, Camden County Prosecutor's Office, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI includes prostitution charges against Rainbow Acupressure owner Hye Morgan and employee Un Ae Dunkin.
Police received a tip the morning of Feb. 15 from a patron who observed men and women walking around the Laurel Hill Plaza business while naked, according to Gloucester Township Police Capt. Anthony Minosse.
Police raided Rainbow later that day, and arrested Morgan and Dunkin, according to Gloucester Township Police Deputy Chief David Harkins.
Numerous assets have been seized pending forfeiture, including bank accounts, safe deposit boxes and large sums of currency, as a result of the investigation, Minosse said.
Morgan, 51, of Lindenwold, was charged with two counts of third-degree promoting prostitution. She was lodged in Camden County Jail on $15,000 cash bail following her arrest.
Dunkin, 52, of Mount Laurel, was charged with engaging in prostitution, a disorderly persons offense, and was released on her own recognizance.
Rainbow has been issued several violations by Gloucester Township fire, code-enforcement and construction officials and the Camden County Department of Health. The business has been shut down on those violations.
The prostitution investigation was headed by Gloucester Township Police Det. Scott Obermeier, FBI Special Agent Stephen Rich and Camden County Prosecutor's Office Investigator Michelle Chambers.

The FBI???? I have reported and provided proof of multple white collar frauds, thefts, and other corrupt acts to the FBI involving hundreds of millions of dollars. And they never do anything. So why are they doing something against a little place that is such a vast threat to our society? Reminds me of that guy who went to complain to Congressman Andrews and about a half dozen law enforcement agencies showed up. You don't read about them catching real criminals because they won't bother to do anything except cash their paychecks.

Obviously your multiple reports to the FBI were baseless, that's why they never did anything about it .The only thing you did is probably draw attention to yourself as a nuisance or a nut case. The FBI really take it serious when people file false charges. So you are defending the "Little Place" that's a Prostitution Ring. Really? I guess you will have to find some other "little place" to hang out. I would guess to say you don't have daughters or you wouldn't make a comment like that or maybe you would. Prostitution is a vast threat to Society Einstein, and Prostitution rings are REAL Crimes. You should write a book on how to get on the Gov watch list with all your FALSE reporting and door knocking.
OH, and FYI, You don't go knocking on a U.S. Congressman's door at his private residence, that's what they have phones for, Ty calling before you decide or the guy decides to go to a U.S. Congressman's home to harass him.

Wait what does having daughters have to do with hating prostitutes...unless...your daughters are prostitutes and I agree it's wrong but it's a victimless crime all people involved are willing and aside from the money it's not much different from people having one night stands all the time with strangers also buying a prostitute is better than committing a sexual crime and with all the guys busted with child porn in NJ I feel that would be your bigger concern rainbow has been there since I was a kid and the rumors have always been the same there's no way the cops never knew til now I don't support prostitution I think it's gross buy.I still don't care I'm with big daddy stealing is worse than being desperate and lonely

Lets face it they probably needed the money to pay for the APV, after all they seized the bank accounts and safety deposit boxes. and large sums of CASH. Good Job Gt Police way to shut down the trash and scum that plague our town. That said Big Daddy 1 your a seriously say individual if you truly are upset that the police would shut down a prostitution rink.
It's always mind boggling to see how people justify their perversions and pass times, J, Jones you think prostitution is a victim-less crime? Tell that to the thousands of people each year that contract AIDS from hookers then go home and spread it to their husbands and wives or their children because of basic cuts or illnesses without knowing they are carriers of the blood disease. That said you also actually try to justify allowing this to happen in our community by saying they help prevent child pornography? Ewe you seriously need an education and fast. Your positions on this topic are so misguided it clearly makes one wonder how and why you would even begin to think prostitution curbs child pornography your a seriously gross individual if your telling us that having access to prostitutes keeps you from sexually abusing children and that's just a seriously sick position to attempt to justify, please go get help. Find a bible, find a church and pray the lord has mercy on your soul.
On a positive note taking 51 and 52 year old rub and tug prostitutes off the streets is clearly a "Happy Ending" for this story.

No wonder Sean quit. All the "nutjobs" coming out of the woodwork to attack each other over simple observations in this patch. At least on Springer, those people have a reason to hate each other. Authorites knew about Madoff for a decade, Fumo for 30 years, Sandusky for several years, and the list goes on. Our governments still give out tons of contracts to connected businesses illegally (no bids and bid rigs). So 3 law enforcement agencies prioritize and are needed to arrest 2 old ho's. We just want our government officials to do the jobs they are paid to do.

Big Daddy1 they are doing the job your problem is they are doing it so well that you have no way to get your republican tax jackers back in office, so you resort to lying and when your lies are exposed you get frazzled and try to lie your way out of that by changing the subject. Then you go on rants to wonder why people don't just cower to your lies and misleading actions. There is a simple answer to that why should we? Hey if you want to get rubbed and tugged by a 52 year old whore, by all means have fun just don't do it in our town. I think the police should post the names of the johns that frequented this ho house. They are criminals and we have the right to know who they were. I saw one report that said they kept books and copies of the ID's people presented proving they were not cops why not post them on here. I'd like to know who was on the list so I can keep my children away from them, As J. Jones says now that the rub and tug is closed down according to him/her these people who frequented this place will now start raping little boys. unless J Jones was just trying to cause hysteria shouldn't we be allowed to keep our children safe?

Oops there were 4 (not 3) agencies on the bust plus 2 more agencies on other violations. Sure is a good thing there are no other crimes to fight so that they can concentrate their efforts on the real criminals. BTW, I didn't even know that place existed. So you folks can go on ranting and raving about whatever is racing around in your minds.

It's about time. That place has been there forever with no problem and everyone knew what it was. However, it is a victimless crime with consenting adults. IMO Prostitution should be legal. It would make it safer and taxable with less crime invlolved. If you want to keep your kids away from anyone who ever solicited a prostitute, male or female, it would be a very long list!

That's just the tip of the iceberg in this town. I've been lobbying for a substation on Church by 7 11 for years. It seems a lot of deals go down there all hours of the day and night. Walk on Devonshire baggies, needles , blunt wrappers ,ect. We don't have the money ??? Have you ever been in our traffic court ? Packed ! Incidently, thats the same shopping center where the Chinese restaurant was robbed that K 9 officer Shultz was killed.

Sounds strange that a customer called police about men and women walking around nude in that place. Only 2 people busted the owner and an employee? really don't sound right, why would someone go there and be offended by that situation, the customer knew where he was what did he expect unless this is just a false accusation by LE, I mean can you get arrested because someone says you did something? I thought proof was needed not accusations. Anyway when I passed that shopping center or stopped in for pretzels there was a police car parked there 80% of the time but no one inside it.

I understand some may feel I'm down playing the severity of their actions yet I can't help but laugh...how dare they sell orgasms to consenting, paying, adult patrons. Reminds of an old Gorge Carlin bit,: ''sex is legal, selling is legal, why isn't selling sex legal?'' lolI

>Numerous assets have been seized pending forfeiture,
Oh, NOW it comes into focus!!! This is legal theft by the cops, is that it? "Forfeiture" is legal thin ice -- it's a means to STEAL property from alleged criminals!
Tell me, do you see BP worrying about any of their assets being "forfeited"? No, when a criminal is large enough (a corporation!) then laws don't apply to them. So here we have every cop's favorite activity, busting working girls, PLUS we have the new insanely-greedy incentive of STEALING ASSETS through "forfeiture"!!! We need a grand jury to come down hard on this nonsense. This is criminal activity on the part of the cops.

All this from what? Customers complaining of men and women walking nude inside the parlor. Nowhere does it say police caught them soliciting or engaging in illegal activity. That place has been there for 20 years or more so why now close them. Seizing assets from them is unconstitutional since they have not been found guilty of anything. Lots of drug activity in that area being left alone. Seems like someone had it in for that place. Was someone's husband a patron? Is someone with power finding out a spouse enjoyed massages there? Sure seems that way

Is this wrong 'YES' BUT there are some sick people who go to these places.. that calm their sick needs at places like this......Now the girls who work at these places at least around here aren't underage which is SOOOO WRONG!!! They are older girls who made the decision to do it just like the girls on the city corners... ... Again do i approve NO but are there way worse things going on?? YES..Do they help the crazy's stay a little calmer yes lol... LOSE LOSE situation... But to say the cops in the area didn't know about this place is a complete joke!! I live in Washington township for years and everyone knew about rainbow even my cops friends!! Oh before you say something no I've never been to a place like this
