I may post a review of where this occurred in due course but I didn't want to reveal the town or location at this stage as I do not know to what degree this forum is monitored by the police.
I tried a new Chinese massage place this morning. I'd agreed on £60 for 30 mins with a bj and had just popped on the table when the door bell goes and the masseuse leaves to answer. (This did annoy me a little at the time). I was still laying face down when I heard a bloke downstairs calling loudly "police, stay where you are". I quickly got dressed and put my head around the door and shouted hello.
3 police officers then entered the room I was in, explained I wasn't in any trouble and that they were checking on the welfare of the people working there. They had body cameras on which were recording me and the room. They searched the room and didn't appear to find anything like condoms. They took my details reassuring me that they wouldn't come knocking and would only contact me via phone if they needed to but didn't anticipate needing to.
I surprised myself at how calm I was, perhaps some credit goes in their direction for the way they handled things, and I did ask them if I had done anything wrong by coming to a place that they obviously have concerns with. I'd got visions of being locked up for visiting a brothel / place housing trafficked people and the awkward conversation that would follow with my wife about why it took so long to do my errands. They reassured me it was all fine and I hadn't done anything wrong. They were probably with me for 15 minutes having a general chin wag to pass the time.
The sergeant in charge then popped in to the room, addressed me by my first name, explained the situation in that they'd made the visit on the back of reports from locals which lead to concerns being raised about the welfare of the people working there. He said they had a mandarin interpreter downstairs talking to the women who had been working there. The inference of his words was there was 3 or more of them which was surprising as I'd only seen and heard the one. He asked his colleagues, the 3 who stayed in the room with me, if my details checked out and were OK and they confirmed they did. He then said, based on my cooperation and that all my details had checked out that I was free to go, reassuring me again that I'd done nothing wrong and that they would only contact me via phone if they needed to. He even asked me if I wanted him to ask the lady about my money. I didn't want to bother with that, I was just keen to get out of there as quickly as possible. I also thought it might get awkward if I said I'd paid £30 more than the half hour rate. All told I counted 8 police officers as I walked out so god only knows what was really going on there.
So, I'm back home now reflecting on what was an alarming experience and wondering if I'd go back, assuming the place remains open, or if I should take this as a warning and limit visits to well established, completely legit places for a massage. From the outside the place didn't look like it would offer anything else other than massage and the lady I saw was dressed for massage rather than anything else but she did have a twinkle in her eye which is what lead me to cheekily ask at the beginning, how about £60 for a nice sensual massage followed by a blow job?
I'd share the town and location were it not for my worry that by doing so I then implicate myself in a transaction that was a lot less innocent than the therapeutic massage I'd told plod I was after.
