A former worker at a so-called "body rub parlour" in Burnaby, B.C. is alleging that she was forced to have unprotected sex with customers and wasn't paid a regular wage.

The woman's story about working conditions at Angel Massage has sparked separate investigations by both the RCMP and the City of Burnaby, CTV News has learned.

The former masseuse, who will be called Yuki to protect her identity, says she endured violence and was ordered to perform what the manager called "good service." That meant having sex without a condom, she told CTV News.

She also alleges she wasn't paid a wage.

"This kind of place won't give a commission, just tips from clients," she said.

Yuki estimates that some masseuses can earn between $1,000 and $2,000 a day on tips alone, but her customers started to dwindle when she didn't want to give "full service."

The situation came to a head in March, when Yuki says another worker took one of her customers. A fight broke out, and the Mounties got involved.

Insp. Tim Shields of the Burnaby Mounties said the dispute became "very physical" and the visit prompted officers to look further into activities at the massage parlour.

"We're also taking a look at the working conditions inside the establishment to determine if there is anything going on there that is in fact criminal," he said.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan says the city is also investigating Angel Massage.

"I would prefer to shut the places down instead. I would like the ability to be able to prohibit these kind of premises in our city," he said. "We weren't given the power by the provincial government to prohibit certain types of businesses, so all we can do is regulate them."

The manager of Angel Massage, who gave her name as Mimi, said Yuki was never forced to do anything she didn't want to.

"We don't think so. She was a liar," Mimi said.

She alleges Yuki was intimidating staff and says she has video evidence that she's given to RCMP investigators. She also asked another worker to show scars that she says came from a fight with Yuki.

Since filing complaints with the city and police, Yuki says she has received a death threat. Burnaby Mounties are investigating that as well.

Yuki says she has been gravely disappointed about life in B.C. since moving here from China five years ago.

"I think Vancouver, Canada can give me better life than China, but I think it's worse life for me now," she said.
