Asian Massage Parlors
Women found in brothels disguised as massage parlors typically live on-site where they are confined and coerced into providing commercial sex to 6 to 10 men a day, 7 days a week. These locations, often known as Asian Massage Parlors, or Korean Massage Parlors (AMPs or KMPs), operate as commercial-front brothels that claim to offer legitimate services such as massage, but they actually primarily provide commercial sex. The victims are most often Asian women, both documented and undocumented. Massage parlors frequently operate in strip malls, office buildings, and sometimes, residential homes, in urban, suburban and rural areas in almost all 50 U.S. states.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

The reality behind the scenes at the Asian massage parlor.
In response to a question from a reader.
To me, this is really appalling and not a 'sexual' issue as much as a human trafficking and slavery issue. While the porn shop has received a great deal of attention in New Albany, two of these Asian massage parlors are open in New Albany----that we know of. Why have they not been raided and closed down? People can debate the legality of the porn shop all they want, but prostitution and slavery are illegal and morally wrong.
