Police Make Third Prostitution Arrest in St. Charles in Recent Weeks

For the third time in recent weeks, police have arrested a St. Charles masseuse on a prostitution charge. 

On Wednesday night, police took Sun Hee Gribat, 67, of 178 Lakeside Drive Apt. 205 in St. Charles, into custody after authorities said she offered to perform a sexual act during an undercover investigation at Royal Spa, 504 E. Main St. in St. Charles, according to a St. Charles Police Department press release. 

The arrest came during compliance inspections conducted by the St. Charles Police Department at area massage businesses on Wednesday.

An undercover officer posting as a customer bought a massage. During that massage, police said Gribat offered to perform sexual act in exchange for an additional cash payment, according to the news release. 

This is the third prostitution arrest St. Charles police have made in recent weeks. On April 25, police arrested a masseuse, Hui Zhang, at Blue Sky Spa, and on April 17, arrested Chang-Li Want, at H.H. Health Care Therapy

Gribat has posted bond and is next expected in court on June 12 at 9 a.m. in the Kane County branch court in St. Charles.
