Prostitution charges follow Dempster bust
September 6, 2007
By NICK KATZ | STAFF WRITER
Two people were arrested and a third turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement after Morton Grove police last week closed down what they say was a house of prostitution operating in a former men's spa.
Henry Leong, 37, of 332 Cermak, Chicago, who police said was operating the illegal business, was charged with keeping a place of prostitution. Amy Nguyen, 33, of 6604 Cortez, Ocean Springs, Miss., who police said was an employee of the operation, was charged with prostitution.
A second employee, Graciela Falcon-Guerrero, 36, of 817 W. Lakeview, Chicago, was turned over to Immigration and Custom's Enforcement after police determined that she had an active outstanding order for deportation.
Nguyen and Leong are to appear in court Oct.11.
Morton Grove Police Cmdr. Brian Bolger said the business was operating out of the Renovo Spa, 5641 Dempster St. He said police received a tip that prostitution was going on in the building that had previously housed a legitimate men's spa.
"We became aware of some illegal activity there," Bolger said, adding that the department received a tip from an "anonymous citizen."
He said undercover officers visited the business more than once and determined that in fact prostitutes were operating there rather than one employee acting alone.
"That's how we determined it was more widespread," Bolger said. "It wasn't a freelancer operating on their own account."
An undercover officer returned Aug. 28 and requested a massage. During the course of the massage Nguyen propositioned him for a sex act in exchange for $50, Bolger said.
Bolger said Falcon-Guerrero was living at the spa when officers busted the business. "We found living quarters in the salon," he said.
Bolger, noting that Nguyen has a Mississippi address, said women apparently were being moved through the Morton Grove spa, rotated among other facilities in other parts of the country.
But he said the woman appeared to know what they were doing and were not being forced to work as prostitutes.
"It was not servitude or anything," he said.
The Renovo Spa for Men originally opened early last year offering upscale services such as haircuts, massages, cigars, TV lounges, steam and other luxury services.
The business later closed and was taken over at some point by Leong, police said.
"This type of activity won't be tolerated in Morton Grove," Bolger said.
