Two Pueblo massage parlors still open after employees cited with prostitution

PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office has cited two women for prostitution at two separate massage parlors in Pueblo County.

According to PCSO, they received tips that prostitution was taking place at Chinese Yang Massage off Santa Fe Drive in Blende and Sunshine Health Spa off McCulloch Boulevard in Pueblo West.

PCSO says they issued a summons for prostitution to Zhufeng Chen, 57, at the Chinese Yang Massage location, who had previously been cited for the same offense during a 2019 operation at the same location.

The Sheriff's Office told us detectives watched as a 13-year-old standing outside another nearby business was approached by an employee from Chinese Yang Massage who asked if they wanted a massage. Investigators say the teen declined.

Hyun Wilson, 67, was the woman who was issued a citation for prostitution at the Sunshine Health Spa, according to PCSO.

People who work near Sunshine Spa told KRDO crews they often see the spa's primarily male clientele park behind the building.

The Sheriff's Office told us they're still looking into whether a bigger prostitution problem exists at these businesses.

As of Thursday night, both businesses remain open.

We reached out to Pueblo County officials to see what code violations the massage parlor and spa might face and whether they could be shut down after these prostitution charges.

We'll update this article as soon as we hear back.
