SUE KIM:
Busted in L.I. parlor.
January 3, 2002 -- Two Queens women were busted at a Long Island massage parlor for offering sexual favors to undercover officers, police said yesterday.
Sue Kim and Jenny Kim, who are both 47 and from Flushing, Queens, but are not related, were arrested Tuesday at the Hanako Body Rub Shiatsu at 2192 Jericho Turnpike in Garden City Park, Nassau County Police said.
Det. Sgt. Joseph Haeselin said both women "offered sexual gratification" to undercover officers for $20 more than the usual massage rate. They were arrested on New Year's Day.
Haeselin declined to say how detectives learned of the alleged illegal activity, but noted that in some cases "we will get tips from wives who suspect their husbands are going to the massage parlor for more than would be appropriate."
Sue Kim, of 78th St., and Jenny Kim, of 41-48 142nd St., were charged with prostitution and giving massages without a state license.
