Adult Sex Workers: The Massage Parlour Madame

Stuart George and Katy O'Regan
Contains some scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

A woman from Stoke-on-Trent who runs a massage parlour where you can buy sexual services says more women are coming into the trade as it's a steady source of income. The business is carefully monitored by Staffordshire Police and the women even pay tax on their income. Figures put together by the charity Brighter Futures show there are currently 24 known massage parlours or escort agencies running in the city. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Stoke's Qasa Alom spoke to the woman who runs the establishment. Afterwards, Superintendent Jeff Moore from Staffordshire Police told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Stoke they don't condone the activity but pay regular visits to them to see if there's any sexual exploitation or human trafficking.
