Maine doctor accused of running massage parlor as prostitution front

YARMOUTH, Maine – A Yarmouth doctor is accused of sex trafficking, and investigators say he ran an illegal massage business.

Peter O’Donnell, 68, of Yarmouth, was arrested Thursday morning after police executed a search warrant at his doctor’s office.

Police also raided his massage business, A. Envy, in Freeport at the same time.

They say the businesses were fronts for prostitution, with O’Donnell recruiting and hiring people to perform sexual services for clients.

During searches on Thursday, authorities identified two people suspected of being victims of human trafficking.

O’Donnell’s bail was set at $25,000 and his arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 7.
