The owner of the Green Spa on Lacey Road has been charged with violating Lacey's "same-gender" law for massage parlors, police said.
On Friday, Stella Li, owner/operator of the Green Spa at 445 Lacey Road in Lacey, was charged with violating the same-gender requirement for massages when operating a massage parlor without a licensed physician, chiropractor or a physical therapist, police said.
Since the spa operates independent of an office of a licensed physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist, it is a violation if a female massages a male client or a male massages a female client, police said.
The charge was served and is pending a court date.
