Atlanta Massage Parlors: prostitution busts questioned

Posted on March 4th, 2011 in Atlanta massage parlors

A review of incident reports from other prostitution investigations from 2006 to 2008 discloses that no other Sandy Springs police officer went nearly as far as Mayberry to make an arrest. But the department’s subsequent internal investigation also revealed Mayberry, who started working at the agency when it launched in July 2006, and other officers did not receive training they requested before conducting the investigations.
“Mayberry’s actions brought disrepute upon him and the SSPD’s reputation,” police Chief Terry Sult said in one of the agency’s  internal reports in April 2009. “However, the actions had the unintended consequence of also bringing to light organizational and supervisory issues that needed to be addressed.”
Without addressing the lawsuit or those cases specifically, Sult said the department has made progress in the last few years. Sult noted that his officers now collaborate with state and federal agencies on most busts.
He also said the agency remains vigilant about going after prostitution and illegal massage parlors and spas.
