Asian massage parlors, or AMPs, dot the southwest portion of Florida. They can be found in the area's many strip malls, tucked between home improvement stores and quickie grocery marts. It seems as if they are always open, yet it is hard to spot customers entering or leaving.
Dong Fang Spa is located in Fort Myers, Florida, on a busy thoroughfare called South Tamiami Trail. Other than its name, it is unremarkable.
According to local news outlets, the establishment was busted for prostitution several years ago:
"At one point, the detective grabbed his penis and asked, 'What about this?'
Yu again asked if he was the police, to which the detective replied, 'No.'
Yu stated she would take care of his penis for an additional $80.
At that time, the takedown signal was given and Yu was placed under arrest and charged with prostitution."
