Colorado Springs Metro Vice officers busted one of the Asian massage parlors News First Investigates profiled on November 1.
Lieutenant Al Harmon says Metro Vice conducted the sting Saturday night, November 24. An officer went inside Kyoto Massage on West Colorado Avenue and was allegedly offered sex for money.
They arrested Sun Hietaia on prostitution charges and also arrested Jeffrey Hietaia on charges of keeping a place of prostitution. As is standard in these cases, neither suspect was taken to jail. They were each issued a summons to appear in court on January 4, 2008.
It is unclear if Sun is the woman who refused to give our undercover employee a massage and instead demanded $180 for sex.
On Monday, November 26, representatives from Dowda Realty posted eviction notices on the doors of the Kyoto. On advice of legal counsel, the property management company says it can't comment, other than to say criminal activity is a violation of the lease.
The owners of the Kyoto didn't answer the door or return calls from News First.
Meanwhile, El Paso County's working to create a new law to help fight the prostitution and human trafficking problems News First uncovered in it's investigation. We're told the County Attorney's Office is researching the issue.
