Police announced Monday they had arrested 20 persons on prostitution-related charges Friday at the Golden Gypsy Message Parlor on Telegraph Avenue. 

“The Special Enforcement Unit received numerous complaints of prostitution occurring at the massage parlor” located at 2628 Telegraph Ave., according to a Police Department press statement faxed to the Daily Planet.
