Acting on an anonymous web tip that people were engaging in prostitution under the guise of providing massages, Norwalk Police initiated a sting operation at Nirvana Relaxation Station that resulted in the arrest of two women on the evening of Thursday, Jan. 9.
Nowalk Police obtained a search and seizure warrant for the establishment and sent in an undercover officer.
Kwang Olson, 57, of 19 Center Ave in Norwalk, who was described as "the manager" of the operation, greeted the undercover officer and completed the financial transaction with him before guiding him to the second woman, Shun Ma, 49, Flushing, NY, who provided the massage and subsequently, according to police, solicited a sexual act to the undercover officer.
At the time of the arrest, Olson and Ma were the only two people in the establishment, where police recovered cash and paraphernalia related to prostitution.
Olson was charged with Promoting Prostitution and Ma was charged with Prostitution.
Both women made bond of $5,000 each and share a court date of Jan. 22, 2014.
