D.C. Councilwoman Muriel Bowser, D-Ward 4, called for a comprehensive investigation into the commercial-area brothels unearthed by an Examiner investigation, and also the many she believes are run in residential areas.

Bowser, who has oversight of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, said Tuesday that she would meet with DCRA investigators to push them to be more aggressive in their pursuit of brothels that hide behind the facade of massage parlors.
