San Jose Massage Parlors: An immigrant’s tale: fear and extortion
Federal authorities file charges against owner of Mount Prospect massage parlor
After moving to Chicago from Eastern Europe in 2007, the young woman met Alex “Daddy” Campbell while attending a massage therapy school on the North Side.
Before too long, she was working at Campbell’s massage parlor in Mount Prospect, but things quickly turned ugly, authorities say. Campbell, an ex-convict, extorted her for thousands of dollars by threatening to expose a video of the woman having sex, threatened to work her seven days a week and tried to force her into a group of tattooed massage workers he dubbed “the Family,” authorities alleged.

Campbell, who has an attempted murder conviction in his past, was arrested in 2008 in connection with a pandering case near a Chicago high school, investigators said. An informant told police that Campbell pulled a gun and made a threat to women working at another massage parlor he owned on Lincoln Avenue.
