Your article of Feb. 3 to 9 regarding massage parlors functioning as brothels points out a problem that is not really new.
When I was the assistant city attorney of the City of Fremont there were nine massage parlors in the city. All were suspected of being brothels.
After a police investigation the city commenced Red Light Abatement actions against the owners of all nine properties. The owners were informed that if their properties were being used for lewd purposes, they could be shut down for a year. Wisely, the property owners evicted the tenants. The year, 1975.
