Authorities have shut down a massage parlor in Jersey City after its owner was arrested on prostitution charges.
Elizabeth Golden, 50, was arrested in the Gold Sakura Spa located on the second floor of 588 Newark Ave., directly across the street from the Hudson County courthouse complex.
During the undercover operation, an officer negotiated with Golden to exchange money for a sexual act.
Golden was taken into custody and charged with engaging in prostitution once the negotiation was complete.
Investigators found client ledgers, internet website postings and open bottles of alcohol at the scene.
No other employees were identified at the time of her arrest.
Golden is scheduled to make her first court appearance later this month.
