The owner of an Oswego massage parlor has surrendered her bodywork establishment license following an alleged prostitution incident at the business.

On Wednesday, Massage X owner Haibin Li, 35, of Plainfield, surrendered the license following an incident and subsequent charges at the establishment last week, according to a news release from the Oswego Police Department.

X Massage is located at 2733 Route 34 in Oswego. Following the incident, the Village of Oswego had initiated proceedings to revoke its bodywork license, with a hearing scheduled for Thursday.
