Police raid Beaver Twp. massage parlor again

BEAVER TWP., Ohio (WKBN) – Police arrested a woman on sex offenses following another raid at a massage parlor in Beaver Township on Friday.

Beaver Township Police Chief Eric Dattilo said acting on a tip, the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force executed another search warrant at Healthy Massage on Market Street.

Investigators had also been there earlier this month as part of a human trafficking investigation. That investigation also resulted in sex offense charges against a woman.

“Our angle is a lot of those girls that they’re using are being trafficked. Whether they want to admit it or not, but we want to try and offer them help to get them out of being trafficked. That’s our goal,” Datillo said.

Dattilo said the new tip brought investigators back to the business, which had reopened following that raid on August 5. He said they are now seeing what other avenues they can pursue with the business, which he said investigators have been involved with for the fourth time since 2021.

WKBN tried reaching out to the massage parlor but was unable to reach anyone there.

Datillo said he is hoping new language can be approved by township trustees in the next month or so that can place new restrictions on businesses like this one.
