St. Charles Revokes License for Massage Parlor

A St. Charles massage parlor recently had its license revoked after an employee was cited for misdemeanor prostitution.

St. Charles Mayor Raymond Rogina, acting as Liquor Control Commissioner, enforced local massage ordinances after a hearing at the Feb. 6 meeting of the St. Charles Liquor Control Commission, which considers alcohol, tobacco and massage license issues, according to a new release.

Shangri-La Massages & Spa, 215 Dean St., Suite 7A, was charged through the commission with ordinance violations, according to a news release. The license was revoked and the business is required to pay a $500 fine. The employee was cited Jan. 11, 2017, with misdemeanor prostitution.

“We are following precedent on this issue and will continue to enforce these ordinances,” Rogina said. “We have zero tolerance for this in our community.”
