Authorities are investigating a Cape Cod wellness studio for sex crimes after police say there have been repeated reports of illegal sex acts.
Yarmouth police said the Zen Wellness Studio, located at 1247 Route 28 at the corner of Pond Street in South Yarmouth, is currently under investigation by police and several local and state officials for operating without an occupancy permit and "repeated reports of illegal sexual acts."
No arrests have been announced.
A grand opening announcement for the studio was listed on Backpage.com on Dec. 21. The advertisement offered "Best Asian Style Session offered for your relaxation and therapeutic need."
"There are several of these types of locations in other communities on Cape Cod and throughout Massachusetts," police said. "According to state and federal officials, there are over 7,000 of these type of business located all across America which try to remain hidden in the community and accessed by people using the Internet."
