Woman gets 18 months in Elkton-area spa prostitution case

ELKTON — A New York woman has received an 18-month sentence for her role in a prostitution ring that operated at an Elkton-area spa, according to Cecil County Circuit Court records. Maryland State Police detectives arrested the defendant — Bifang Zhong, 45, of Brooklyn, N.Y. — in December and charged her with eight sex trafficking and prostitution offenses, all of which are misdemeanors. MSP detectives arrested Zhong and filed those charges against her after a two-month-long investigation that focused on the former Spa Aromatherapy in the 1600 block of Elkton Road (Route 279) and involved, in part, interviews with clients, surveillance operations and a raid in which detectives found a naked male customer in a “massage room” with a “scantily clad” female employee, in addition to other evidence, according to Cecil Whig archives and court records.

Man gets 35 years in appealed 1999 kidnapping case

ELKTON — In December 2004, Pennsylvania State Police Det. John J. Comerford swore out an arrest warrant charging former Port Deposit-area resident Joseph Dwayne Griest with first-degree rape and related sexual assault offenses in that state. Comerford did so even though Griest, who was 33 at that time, already was serving a 65-year prison sentence in Maryland in a related 1999 kidnapping case that had been handled in Cecil County. His decision to secure that Pennsylvania arrest warrant more than 16 years ago loomed large on March 16. That’s when Griest, now 49, received a 35-year prison term after pleading guilty to kidnapping and carjacking in his latest successful appeal of that dual-jurisdiction case relating to a 1999 abduction that started in Elkton and ended several hours later in Pennsylvania.
