On June 5,the Town of New Windsor Police Department, in conjunction with Investigators from the New York State Police, conducted an undercover investigation into prostitution and unlicensed/illegal massages being conducted at several locations throughout the Town of New Windsor. This investigation resulted in the arrest of two persons; each charged with one count of Unauthorized Practice of a Profession, under the NYS Education Law – Section 6512 (Class E Felony) and  one count of Prostitution, under NYS Penal Law Section 230.00 (Class B Misdemeanor).

Neither defendant held professional licenses, as required by law, to practice the acts performed on the undercover officers, and each also solicited the officer for sexual acts.

This investigation was initiated after the Town of New Windsor Police Department received complaints from local residents and local businesses reporting suspicious activity occurring at these locations.

The following persons were arrested at the following businesses: Choi Chun Ok, 57, of Queens, NY arrested at 207 Spa, 899 Little Britain Road and Geumsun Yi, 55, of Flushing, NY, arrested at the Sun & Moon Spa – 357 Old Forge Hill Rd.

Both defendants were released on appearance tickets and are scheduled to appear in the Town of New Windsor Justice Court on July 23, 2024 at 4p.m.

 “The shutdown of illegal businesses that affect the quality of life around town is a high priority of mine,” said Town Supervisor Stephen A. Bedetti.  “The town will continue to use all legal enforcement powers to shut down any illegal businesses. Illegal businesses like these are a blemish on the town and we will continue to be proactive in taking action against them. Thank you to our Police Department for the professional handling of this enforcement last night, a job well done by them.”
