Accused massage parlor madam made thousands, police say

The classified ad for Fuji Oriental Therapy Massage featured a picture of an attractive woman and offered services including a sauna, steam beds and a body shampoo.

But court records released Tuesday portray a seedy side of the Horizon Drive business, one that reportedly defined it during its entire 12-year existence.

Those records allege that the Fuji Massage owner and operator made tens of thousands of dollars — and potentially much more —via prostitution and used the proceeds to hire prostitutes, pay property taxes on the massage parlor building and purchase property in Colorado Springs. She also used the money to pay homeowners association dues on her Grand Junction home, where she and, often, some of the prostitutes live, according to the records.

Prosecutors on Tuesday charged her with two felony counts each of racketeering and pimping and misdemeanor counts of keeping a place of prostitution, promoting sexual immorality and pandering.

She also was charged with a felony count of filing a false tax return in 2007. Authorities say she reported $229,531 in income while her banking records show she collected at least $70,208 more.

Mesa County Chief Deputy District Attorney Dan Rubinstein said the fact she collected that much reported and unreported income in a single year is indicative of just how much prostitution was going on at Fuji Massage.

“For a roadside Asian massage parlor in Grand Junction, Colorado, we take that to be an indication that this is a large corporation that is operating with multiple businesses sheltering and hiding money and using various businesses to purchase real estate,” he said.
