Montville ― One local and one New York woman were charged Thursday with prostitution-related crimes after local and East Lyme police, and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations Division searched the Healing Day Spa at 1031 Route 32.

As a result, Ming Li, 59, of 4 Depot Road, Apt. B, was charged with second-degree promotion of prostitution. She was released on a $10,000 bond.

Li and a co-worker were charged with prostitution during a similar investigation of the same massage parlor in 2020.
