Original Post, March 14

Three Connecticut women were arrested and charged with prostitution on Wednesday as the result of an investigation by the Fairfield Police Detective Bureau into Deidra's Health Salon at 699 Post Road, according to a release sent by the department.

The investigation, which was initiated in 2011, revealed that the business, which has been open since the 1970s, has been offering illegal sexual services to clients, according to police. Undercover officers posing as customers seeking massages were sent into Deidra's on numerous occasions, police said, and each visit confirmed that the illegal sexual activity was taking place at the salon. The department also received numerous anonymous tips that prostitution was taking place at the salon, according to police.

The Detective Bureau executed search and seizure warrants at the salon on Feb. 7 and at the residence of one of the co-owners, who lives in Bridgeport. Officers were able to seize business records, $16,000 in cash and equipment used at the salon as result of the two raids, according to police. 

The department obtained five arrest warrants in all—three for employees of the salon and two for the co-owners. According to Lt. Michael Gagner, warrants are expected to be issued to the co-owners on Friday.

The employees arrested and charged on Wednesday are Kimberly Arciuolo, 34, of John St, New Haven, Sacha Burton, 32, of Hawley Ave., Bridgeport, and Susan M. Cecere, 56, of Bruce Street, Shelton.

According to police, one of the co-owners of Deidra's had business ties to the former Paradise Spa in Fairfield and Tokyo Health Spa in Bridgeport—both of which were shut down for numerous violations.

But Fairfield Old Timer I wasn't the one that insulted all the women, that was all you. You are the one that is saying all women (married or dating ) are whores. Ever think some people could actually love each other? People still go out on dates without sex being involved. Up to this point you have made some valid comments on other issues, but you stepped into a pile of it this time. I do have a question though. When you dated a women were you up front about it? Put out or get out? Didn't have many dates did you?

Typical Teapublican mentality.....
No wonder that intelligent women vote Demo !
Kevin March 17, 2013 at 09:55 pm
Face it. You're mom took some expensive jewelry from your dad in exchange for sex. You can't argue the facts. And to the other dummy who thinks everyone she disagrees with is tea party. I feel sorry for you too. It must be comforting for you live in such a simple mental state
Foghorn Leghorn March 17, 2013 at 10:00 pm
Brother Kelley Boggs and the other three personalities your meds allow you to be:
you are a real joke! You're Mother did not do such a great job! Hope you don't have any daughters because they are probably doing the Deidre route with a scuzzbucket like you! Boy, you cover about as much as a flappers skirt in a high wind.
Foghorn Leghorn March 17, 2013 at 10:02 pm
Kevin go have another cocktail you punk. If you have daughters I know where they are probably headed son and it aint the barnhouse!
Foghorn Leghorn March 17, 2013 at 10:04 pm
I cannot believe the pigs and losers on this board! Any disrespect to any woman is a sure sign you probably caught your Mammy with the UPS guy. Check and see if you look like him.
Igor March 17, 2013 at 10:24 pm
Kevin you are a complete ass. I can believe an adult with even a half brain could come up with something that idiotic.
Sandra March 17, 2013 at 10:27 pm
Kevin- just read some of your past comments and we mostly agree on politics so what's with the women bashing stuff? Too much Guinness?
El Rushbo March 17, 2013 at 10:49 pm
women basher = Teapublican.....
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—Republicans have a perception problem, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told conservative activists during a dinner here Friday, one that future candidates must work to combat if they ever hope to win elections. "All too often we're associated with being anti-everything. Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker and the list goes on and on and on. Many voters are simply unwilling to choose our candidates even though they share our core beliefs because those voters feel unloved, unwanted and unwelcome in our party," Bush said. facts are facts....
Sandra March 17, 2013 at 10:54 pm
El Rushbo-Perception does not equal fact
Democrats are better at lying and hiding what they truly believe Democrats punish anyone who goes off their talking points- can't think for themselves
Kevin March 17, 2013 at 11:01 pm
All I can say to all of you is that the truth hurts. And FOGHORN, if you can manage to keep your daughters off the pole you should congratulate yourself for a job well done. Have a good night. My work is done here.
topogijo March 17, 2013 at 11:24 pm
Bro Kelley,Ive had your sister,and your mother. Too bad you don't know where your father is.
topogijo March 17, 2013 at 11:30 pm
Audrey,as kinky as you were last night,i still like you.
topogijo March 17, 2013 at 11:37 pm
El rushbo, I had to push my chair back as I read your post.I could sense your tumescent member pulsing through,as you thought about your hero,the manchild in chief,the lion of the Kenyan savanna,the boy king himself. You sicken me.
Donald Borsch Jr. March 17, 2013 at 11:45 pm
Kevin,
Your words only matter to those who cannot say for certain that their parents didn't wait until their Honeymoon Night to...you know...seal the deal. If your folks waited until they were married and legit before they got naked, then ignore Kevin. Simple. If, however, your mother was giving your father an early Christmas present (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) then I reckon you would be offended at his words. Or at any insinuation that any female in your families might drop their self-esteem for some baubles and dinner. The reactions Kevin is getting form his comments is the interesting part here. For indeed, guilty dog barks first, yes?
Kelley Anne March 18, 2013 at 12:42 am
Racism SUCKS !
R. Ludlowe March 18, 2013 at 11:06 am
well, at least we arent generalizing...
R. Ludlowe March 18, 2013 at 11:07 am
that's a good one.
R. Ludlowe March 18, 2013 at 11:08 am
Time for Patch to lock this one down. Y'all are acting like imbeciles.
Igor March 18, 2013 at 12:22 pm
No Donald it's not a case of a barking dog. It's a case of ignorance. And in this case Kevin shows plenty of it. His remarks were cruel and uncalled for. I would bet money his wife /mother/ daughter would bitch slap him into next week if he had the guts (or lack of brains) to say it to their faces.
Donald Borsch Jr. March 18, 2013 at 01:39 pm
Igor,
Indeed, Kevin's comments are ignorant, I agree. But the reactions from other commenters here on Patch only serve to give him a spotlight. Besides, like I said, unless there is some truth to his words, people would simply read them and walk away. It's all perspective, really. Kevin's comments mean not a thing to me, do not apply to the women in my life, and hold no water. *shrugs* So I let them go and continue on my way. Is Kevin ignorant? I don't know him personally, but based on the comments he has made, I would lean towards a Yes. However, ignorance, rudeness, and troll-like words are Free Speech still.
Igor March 18, 2013 at 02:34 pm
I agree Donald
fatmancarruthers March 18, 2013 at 05:25 pm
Time to lock it down? Why? Its entertaining.
Jim March 18, 2013 at 07:42 pm
The pics are such a great snapshot of the melting pot that is Fairfield......I'm so touched by this show of diversity.
Boggs March 18, 2013 at 08:12 pm
and I bet most of the Johns were WASPS !!!!!
B.Clintons Johnson March 18, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Brutha Kelley,do you neven know what a wasp is?Its not a new hip hop beat.
Joeseph Biff March 19, 2013 at 11:53 am
I'm with you fatman.The comments here are priceless.
Donald Borsch Jr. March 20, 2013 at 04:52 pm
Color me shocked. Here I was thinking all hookers were like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman". These chicks look like they've been rode hard and put away wet one too many times. Yeesh. And guys spent their money on this? Double yeesh.
Igor March 20, 2013 at 05:58 pm
I see inflation has hit the oldest profession too. A buck doesn't go as far as it used to.
LindaG March 23, 2013 at 07:44 pm
Uh, the last time I looked, prostitution was still a crime. If YOU want those "services" then I'd suggest living elsewhere or having the laws changed. Prostitution parlors are just not my idea of the kind of services I prefer to see offered in Fairfield. But, hey - to each his own, Steve. I'm sure that there are any number of service stations you can frequent somewhere else. NIMBY.

Atticus, Ralph Arnone is next scheduled to appear in court on July 1st, at which point he isRead More expected to enter a plea. As an aside, one isn't supposed to go to bed and wake up still angry at the same thing, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I care deeply about firefighters and I'm genuinely concerned about you. You were exposed to a lot of chemicals in your career. You may have some endocrine system damage or something causing an electrolyte disorder. This stuff starts out with things like joint pain and minor psychological implications but, it gets much, much worse. Get to the doc. Maybe you're just a spicy guy, maybe Ralph hurt you in some terrible way, or maybe you are sick and as a result, you'll be facing a much shortened a painful life. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time or pick a fight.
Atticus Fich June 19, 2013 at 06:01 am
Well thanks for your concern Creeky. But at my age I cant say I have lived a shorten life. As forRead More chemicals...well as most of the posters here on this rag say, firemen do nothing 99.9% of the day so I guess the on chemical exposure would be to the big comfy leather chairs in the dayroom. Why do you care anyway Creeky? In your previous posts about me you said, don't feed to trolls. You are not honest Creeky. Take your fake concern and false "honesty" and waste it on someone else. Not trying to give you a hard time, those are your comments about me. Where did you get the info on Ralphy?
Creeky June 19, 2013 at 08:05 am
Atticus, review your own posts. It isn't trolling. It's a vendetta. If you think I'm dishonest,Read More fine. I'm not going to try to speak rationally with someone whom is irrational. Why do I care? Because I've seen how much care fireman are capable of, and how much they give of themselves. It's respect and karma. As far as where I got the info, it's publicly available. If you wanted my help in how to find it yourself, perhaps you shouldn't have attacked my character. You are on your own now.
