allegedly forced some female employees to get tattoos with his birth date
The owner of a suburban massage parlor who allegedly had some female employees get tattoos with his birth date was arrested Wednesday on charges he extorted thousands of dollars from one worker.
Alex "Daddy" Campbell, of Glenview, will remain in custody until a detention hearing Friday. The criminal complaint charged that he forced the employee to pay $16,000 to avoid working seven days a week. The woman, a foreign national, paid him an additional $13,000 to ostensibly assist her with her Immigration status, authorities said.
Campbell, who owns the Day and Night Spa in Mount Prospect, also forced the employee to engage in sex with him and threatened to publicize video he took of her having sex with another woman, authorities said.
Many of the women working at the massage parlor were given horseshoe tattoos on their necks, and some had the number "917" tattooed on them in reference to Campbell's Sept. 17 birthday, according to the charges.
The complaint also alleged that Campbell, in his mid-40s, admitted being a pimp as Chicago police gave him his Miranda rights during an earlier investigation of prostitution. "You all hating on my pimp game," he was quoted as saying. "My lawyer gonna get you good for (expletive) with me and my hos."
Danielle "Princess" John, 23, a Campbell employee, was also charged in the extortion of the parlor employee.
The victim eventually sought help from U.S. Immigration agents and secretly taped talks with Campbell and John, officials said. Agents allegedly gave the victim cash and watched as she passed it to John. Lawyers for the two could not be reached for comment.
