"Golden Touch Relaxation Center" front for prostitution

ATTICA, Ind. (WLFI) - The investigation continues into an alleged prostitution operation in Fountain County.

The Golden Touch Relaxation Center stands in a somewhat remote portion of US 41 in Fountain County, a few miles south of Attica.

For the time being, the open sign will remain off after a raid by police that points to illegal activity.

“We executed that search warrant about 6:00 p.m. at the relaxation center and recovered several adult sex toys, some coded names on ledgers and stuff like that,” said Attica police chief Bobby Bass.

Bass said among the more incriminating evidence are ledger cards with coded client names.

Stop in at almost any popular Attica gathering and most people will tell you they knew something was a little off about the so-called massage parlor.

“Kind of knew what was going on. You know it wasn't nothing out of the blue. Trailer out in the middle of the cornfield, someone trying to have their own massage parlor, it was kind of obvious,” said Carrigan.

Bass said he believes anywhere from 5-7 women were working at the relaxation center, now, he said, due to the nature of the items seized during the search, there's no doubt in his mind as to the true nature of the business.

“Talking to the employees, I believe the information that they gave us was very credible. And what we found during the search, I believe there was no reason to have those items in there if this was strictly a relaxation center or massage parlor,” said Bass.

Bass said the investigation is ongoing and several agencies are involved in the case at the moment.

He said the next step is to track the operations owner, who until this point has remained somewhat elusive.
