Condom-clogged pipe provides police clue in cracking Texas brothel

Hundreds of condoms that clogged a city sewer pipe led police to raid a massage parlor in Texas and arrest two people for prostitution and other crimes, police documents has shown.
A real estate agent who had just taken over the property notified police of the blockage at Jade Massage Therapy in the Texas capital of Austin.
A police arrest affidavit said the agent told them other tenants believed the business was a front for prostitution.
Austin police then launched their probe that culminated in a raid about six weeks later where a woman who co-managed the business “was found in a massage room with a completely nude and uncovered male,” the document said.
Juan Wang and her husband Joseph Emery were arrested on suspicion of managing “a prostitution enterprise that used two or more prostitutes,” it said.
No lawyer was listed on the arrest affidavit and the company’s phone went to voicemail. Neither person could be immediately reached for comment.
Police also discovered more than $60,000 in cash at the woman’s home.
Court documents also showed that she and her husband were arrested in March and charged with engaging in organised criminal activity to promote prostitution and money laundering.
