San Diego cops have shut down a massage parlor they say was used as a front for an illegal prostitution ring.
Mesa City Attorney Mara Elliott announced the closure Tuesday, marking the end of a months-long investigation.
The probe revolved around Ocean Spa in Kearny, which operated out of two units at an office building on Kearny Villa Road.
Over the years, residents have repeatedly complained about the enterprise - with San Diego Police receiving reports of people having sex in cars on the premises, sex noises loud enough to disrupt neighbors, and ads promoting prostitution online.
Among those forced to sit through the sordid scenes were youngsters in a Bible study that for years was set next-door, before it moved out in 2022 due to the alleged activity, cops said. At least four arrests have been made.

San Diego cops shut down a massage parlor they say was used as a front for an illegal prostitution ring this week, after making at least four arrests
The probe revolved around Ocean Spa in Kearny, which staffers seemingly left in haste following a court order to officially cease business
'The owners of Ocean Spa have been masquerading as a legitimate business for far too long,' said City Attorney Mara Elliott in a statement, after compiling enough evidence to sway a judge to dish out a vacate order.
'Ocean Spa is a sex shop - not a massage parlor,' she continued, as news crews recorded an assortment of trash, lotion, and more left at the scene.
'It has no place in our community or anywhere else.'
In his own statement, David Nisleit - Chief of the SDPD - assured onlookers that the department and city attorney's office 'will not stand idly by while nuisance and criminal establishments violate the law and take advantage of our communities.'
Court documents filed by the city tell the rest of the story - and how the business repeatedly raised red flags as staffers, and customers, allegedly engaged in their misdeeds.
The complaints, the city's civil action says, began in 2018, when locals cited 'traffic at all hours of the day, sexual sounds coming from the premises which are audible to nearby businesses, and female employees wearing sexually explicit clothing.'
A sprawling sting ensued, during which undercover detectives within Nisleit's force spent some 125 hours last year alone compiling potentially damning evidence about the parlor's inner-workings.
This, prosecutors explained, proved enough to make four arrests - all involving spa workers who offered the undercovers sex for purchase.

In their civil law enforcement action, staffers from Elliott's office revealed how investigators were 'not convinced' the women voluntarily prostituted themselves - instead alluding that someone had trafficked and forced them beforehand.
The same filing laid bare how more than 1,270 ads soliciting sex had been distributed online by the spa over the past five years - during which the Bible Study, a music school for kids, and a dentist operated on the same floor as the massage hall.
'Neighboring businesses complained the site was the source of foot traffic at odd hours, people having intercourse in parked cars and sexual noises loud enough to disrupt a nearby church service,' officials wrote.
'After receiving numerous community complaints regarding illicit sexual activities at Ocean Spa, including criminal, nuisance and lewd activities, SDPD’s Vice Unit began an extensive and thorough investigation into these complaints.'
The complaints, they said, ranged from 'sexual noises' that disturbed the church service, to locals spotting people having sex in cars.

'We look forward to holding these perpetrators accountable and to restoring peace in this complex,' she said, asking the city impose a $100,000 against Ocean Spa in civil penalties.
Her office says they are also seeking reimbursement of attorney fees and other costs incurred from 'enforcement-related activities.' No additional details about the bid to permanently shutter the business, as of Sunday, were immediately available
On Tuesday, when camera crews captured an unnamed Asian man painting the inside of the hastily evacuated business before abruptly leaving, Elliott vowed she and other local officials would hold the business 'accountable.'
