PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pittsburgh city councilman wants to license massage parlors and their employees, and have the businesses keep lists of their customers, in an effort to prevent human trafficking in sex workers.
“It is going on under our noses right now,” Councilman Doug Shields, a Democrat, said Monday at a news conference announcing the bill he intends to introduce Tuesday. “It’s a horrible story. It’s one that needs a response. And it needs the cooperation of everybody.”
…
John Moran, who identified himself as part-owner of the Lucky Dragon massage parlor in the same section of the city, also denied selling sex. He called Goodman a “naive do-gooder” who’s “likely going to be in court for slander.”
…
“If this bill is passed and enforced properly, perhaps johns will learn that they cannot go into a legitimate massage parlor and sexually harass their masseuses into providing a ‘happy ending,’” Goodman said, using a euphemism for sexual services.
