Basement Brothel Busted In Bayside, DA Says

BAYSIDE, QUEENS -- Three Queens residents were arrested after undercover cops were allegedly offered sex and full-body massages inside a basement brothel in Bayside, prosecutors said Monday.

Cheolryong Shin was arrested on April 21 after he allegedly offered up the prostitutes to two undercover cops that walked into the basement of 211-54 45 Drive that evening, according to criminal complaints the Queens District Attorney released Monday. QNS first reported on the arrest.

Acting as manager of the operation, the 31-year-old Flushing man allegedly offered up two of his female "employees" to "perform sexual intercourse and full-body massage" for $160 each, the complaint stated.

Ting Ting Wen, 27, and Yan Yan Hong, 40, were both arrested after agreeing to perform the sex acts and leading the officers into massage rooms, prosecutors said.

Shin was charged with promoting prostitution and is due back in Queens Criminal Court on June 4.

Wen, who lived at the busted house in Bayside, and Hong, of Flushing, were both charged with prostitution. They will return to court on May 11.

New Angel Relaxing Inc. registered at the site with the New York State Department of State in November 2017, records show.
