An alleged house of prostitution has been shut down after Troy police say someone was caught paying for an illegal sex act.

The alleged crime took place last Tuesday at about 9 pm. The business had also posted numerous ads on the website backpage.com.

The ads marketed massages with beautiful Asian women for $70 an hour.

The owner of a nearby business, Stephanie Riley, tells us she noticed suspicious activity 6 months ago.

"I noticed a lot of men coming and going, and dropping girls off and when I approached them, they were very closed off," says Riley. 

Police say at the business on the 3100 block of Rochester Road, a 31-year-old woman was caught engaging in sex acts for money with a 51-year-old man from Clinton Township. 

The man was cited with a misdemeanor and released. The woman was arrested and charged with prostitution.

The business remains closed till further notice.
