The City of Burnsville is taking a proactive approach to rooting out prostitution: On July 19, the city council agreed to beef up city codes to prevent prostitutes from moving in under the guise of massage therapy.

The city decided to strengthen the ordinance following a string of arrests in Apple Valley. In February, a Minneapolis man was sentenced Monday to 11 years in prison for inappropriately touching multiple female customers at an Apple Valley massage business. According to the criminal complaint, six separate women told police they were fondled on his massage table.

More recently, the owners of an Apple Valley business called iMassage were charged with multiple counts of prostitution and keeping a disorderly house after investigators found evidence that workers there were offering sexual services to their clientele.

The City of Apple Valley responded by tightening codes regulating massage businesses. 

There have been no such arrests in Burnsville, Capt. Eric Werner said, though two businesses were investigated based on similar allegations. Ultimately, no charges were filed.

Nevertheless, at the last meeting of the city council, Burnsville decided to follow the City of Apple Valley’s example.
