Anonymous allegations target massage business
The owner of a massage business in Woy Woy has been frustrated in her attempts to address anonymous defamatory allegations about her business.
An anonymous flyer has been circulated to some Woy Woy residents and businesses claiming her therapeutic massage business was a front for an underground brothel.
Ms Susan Moreno, owner of the Sun Massage Centre, said that she was upset by the allegations and denied she was running a brothel.
"This is not true," she said.
"You can ask people who come here.
"I only do massages. It is just a massage parlor. There is no sex here," she said.
Ms Moreno's solicitor, Mr Raymond Wong, said that by not taking the complaint through proper channels those behind the flyer were trying to destroy Ms Moreno's reputation.
"The fact that council hasn't taken action suggests she isn't running a brothel."
He said no facts to prove the allegations were given in the flyer.
"They also didn't put their name on it," he said.
This made it impossible to take the issue up with those making the allegations.
