Pleasant woman told police that she did not think it was illegal to perform sexual acts on massage clients at her home if she asked permission first. Dawn Marie McGovern was charged with prostitution last month after police say she was running an illegal massage parlor performing sexual acts on her clients at her home on Scranton Drive.
Pleasant police began an undercover investigation after a complaint was filed on Sept. According to an incident report, witnesses reported to police that numerous men were arriving at the residence and staying no longer than an hour before leaving.
Police began surveilling the home and questioning the men as they left the residence. Officers determined that paid massages were being performed on men at the residence and the massages included sexual acts. Investigators say they set up an appointment at the residence with "Brittan," and on Nov. He was wired with an audio transmitting device and a video device. The detective rang the door bell and "Brittan," later identified as year-old McGovern, answered the door.
According to the undercover detective, he was brought upstairs and into a room that had a massage table set up. The suspect began the massage wearing a blue skirt and suit jacket, but during the massage she began taking off articles of clothing until she was topless and wearing only a thong. When the suspect finished the back massage, she asked the detective to turn over and began massaging his chest, arms and legs, according to the detective.
The suspect then asked if there were any other places the detective would like to have massaged. According to the report, the detective told her it was his first time doing something like this and told her he didn't know what else could be done. She then asked if he would be comfortable having his hip area massaged.
