On Friday, officers served a search warrant at the business — since identified as Clover Massage — which led to the arrest of one adult woman.

Detective Dezmond Perkins said the search warrant came about after months of concerns voiced by customers of Clover Massage.

“For the past several months, we’ve received tips from customers who have gone in,” he said. “Over the past couple of months, we’ve been building our case together and doing surveillance at the massage parlor. Customers have come out and come over here to the police department and reported what occurred when they went int here and got massages.”

Due to the department’s active investigation, Perkins declined to detail what illegal activity was reported or name the woman who was arrested, though he did say she is facing “several” charges related to the activities at the massage parlor.

However, he said more information will be released in the coming weeks.

Perkins said he believes the business is closed at this time. The Standard-Examiner confirmed this, observing a sign on the door of Clover Massage that reads, “We are closed for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

In November, Utah News Dispatch reported that officials have become concerned about a growing issue of massage businesses being used for criminal activity.

“Posing as legitimate massage or bodywork establishments, illicit massage businesses are fronts for prostitution, often engaging in human trafficking, money laundering and tax evasion,” the Dispatch reported. “The numbers vary depending on the source, but officials believe Utah has more than 100 active, illicit massage businesses in the state.”

Legislators are contemplating tightening laws around massage businesses and even looking at potentially increasing penalties against “Johns” who utilize the illegal businesses.
