Running a brothel disguised as a "Spa" is clearly not one of them.

>>Evan Lowenstein, 60, who owns more than a dozen 24-hour local massage parlors, was arrested at his home Thursday. He refused to answer Local 2's questions.

Police and federal customs officers took the female employees in for questioning. They believe many of them are immigrants brought to the states solely to perform as sex slaves.

"Most of the time they're told they're going to work as waitresses or something else -- some other legitimate form of work -- and that's why they come to this country," Jett said.

Authorities seized about $2.5 million from Lowenstein's home Thursday morning. His home safe held $1 million worth of checks, cash, rare coins, jewelry and valuable collectibles such as autographed pictures and baseballs from Mickey Mantle.<<
