NJ Spa Offering 'Happy Ending' Massages Busted For Prostitution Again, Police Say

Waterfall Therapy was initially busted for prostitution in March; an October investigation found prostitution remained ongoing.

MAYS LANDING, NJ — An Atlantic County massage business that publicly advertises massages with a "happy ending" has been busted for prostitution for the second time, Township of Hamilton police said.

Waterfall Therapy was searched on Oct. 8, following an initial search this past March, which resulted in charges being filed against two people, police said. The investigation is part of an ongoing effort to address illegal prostitution-related activity in Hamilton, according to police.

"Despite the previous enforcement action, and our attempts to work with county and state agencies during the investigations, the property has once again become the subject of a criminal inquiry involving alleged prostitution-related activity," police said.
