New York City has launched an operation to eradicate illegal brothels operating in secret in Queens. On the 25th, the New York Police Department (NYPD) conducted a series of raids on prostitution establishments operating illegally in the Corona area of Queens and shut down seven establishments.<\/p>\n
In particular, New York City Mayor Eric Adams personally accompanied the crackdown on this day and expressed the city government’s strong will to crack down on prostitution by attaching a ‘closure order’ issued by the court to the entrance of the cracked down brothel.<\/p>\n
According to the NYPD, in the Corona area of Queens, prostitution establishments disguised as massage parlours are thriving along Roosevelt Avenue. On this day, the NYPD used the crackdown on a prostitution establishment located on 95th Street along Roosevelt Avenue as a signal to crack down on seven nearby prostitution establishments and suspend their operations.<\/p>\n
Mayor Eric Adams pointed out on this day, \u201cThis area, where prostitution establishments are mushrooming, is only 50 feet away from the school, and there have been constant complaints from the community since last summer,\u201d and added, \u201cWe will prevent human trafficking, etc. through stronger crackdowns on prostitution establishments.\u201d \u201cWe will protect the victims and ensure the quality of life of the local community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The crackdown on this day began in line with the court’s issuance of a ‘closure order’ to businesses where evidence of prostitution was secured. In cases where businesses did not open their front doors, the crackdown team even resorted to physical methods, such as breaking and destroying the front door glass and doors, to forcibly enter the business and enter the business. Closure was announced.<\/p>\n
Queens 115th Police Station and the NYPD crackdown team said, \u201cToday\u2019s crackdown on illegal brothels is just the beginning. \u201cWe will continue to carry out strong crackdowns in the future,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cHowever, this crackdown on brothels is focused on shutting them down rather than arresting those involved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
