Wisconsin Democrat: Don’t Distract Me With the Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor

Busted in Appleton, Wisconsin:
Appleton police say a municipal citation they issued to state Rep. Gordon Hintz earlier this month is connected to a prostitution investigation involving an Appleton massage parlor.
The 37-year-old Oshkosh Democrat was arrested Feb. 10 and cited the next day under a city sexual misconduct ordinance. . . .
Police searched Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor, 342 W. Wisconsin Ave., and a nearby residence, 1319½ N. Division St., on Jan. 28. Investigators had staked out the properties for several days after receiving a tip that illegal activity was taking place at the home.
The raid netted six arrests, and police seized a vehicle and other property. Four women were booked into the Outagamie County Jail and two other women were arrested but not jailed. . . .
Online court records show Hintz posted a $2,667.50 bond.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that this YouTube clip of Rep. Hintz making an “impassioned speech” (nudge, nudge) has become quite popular:
In a statement e-mailed to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Hintz says, “I am willing to take responsibility for my actions.” But he says he is concerned his “personal situation is distracting from the much more important issue facing the state.”
Rep. Hintz evidently didn’t mind the distraction too much when he was paying for the services of the ladies at the Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor. Now that it has become public knowledge, however, Rep. Hintz is concerned about “the much more important issue.”
