Minneapolis police discontinue prostitution stings at massage parlors

Minneapolis police officials said Thursday that they’re ending the practice of sending undercover officers to investigate suspected prostitution in massage parlors after three male officers had sexual contact with the female suspects.

Two recent cases were thrown out by Hennepin County judges and a third by the Minneapolis city attorney because of officer conduct one judge called “outrageous.” During one bust, an officer can be heard in a recording moaning as he allows the female masseuse to touch his genitals as part of a naked “body-to-body” massage.
