A Long Island foot spa renting space from Suffolk County Clerk Vincent Puleo had its lease yanked by the elected official after it was revealed the shop was offering happy-endings.
K&T Foot Spa in St. James is no longer in business after Puleo said he found out Wednesday from a Newsday report about the reputed randy activity, the business told The Post.
The alleged dirty deeds first came to light in online reviews of the location, with one woman saying her boyfriend was propositioned for some sexual shenanigans after getting a normal foot massage.
“You want?” the customer was allegedly asked by a masseuse who “tapped” his private area and made a “suggestive hand gesture,” according to a post written on Yelp.

“He was offered a happy ending! We were both in shock about that,” the post continued.
That review, according to the website, was left in January — to which the owner, Tom Hagzan, responded the spa doesn’t tolerate that and the worker would be dealt with.
But it appears that may not have been the case, and the spa continued offering prostitution services to its mostly male customers, some of whom would arrive after closing, according to the outlet.
Puleo expressed to The Post that he was “shocked,” and “disappointed” to learn what was allegedly taking place in the business, which is located in a Lake Avenue strip mall he owns.
“[Puleo] was not involved with the daily operations of the spa,” his spokesperson, Todd Shapiro told The Post, adding that the clerk is too busy in his elected position to micro-manage the businesses he rents to and had no idea the spa was performing shady activities.
“As soon as he found out, he terminated their lease and reached out to the [District Attorney] and [Suffolk County police] to investigate,” Shapiro added.
It is currently unclear whether DA Ray Tierney’s office is investigating the claims. A spokesperson for the DA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When reached by The Post, reps for the spa claimed their lease “expired” but refused to respond to the prostitution claims.
The K&T closure comes amid an aggressive crackdown on illegal massage parlors across Suffolk County.
On Thursday, Tierney indicted 10 people — including a ringleader accused of running four storefronts as fronts for prostitution — in a long-term, multi-agency investigation that authorities say generated more than $1 million in illicit proceeds.
The alleged enterprise, which operated from February 2025 through earlier this month, spanned three Huntington spas and a Flushing parlor, according to prosecutors.
Xiaolan Gong, 59, of Flushing, was hit with a top count of enterprise corruption and now faces up to 25 years after authorities said she used the businesses to run a large-scale prostitution ring while laundering the profits into mortgage payments and a brokerage investment account.
Search warrants executed Monday at the four parlors and four defendants’ residences turned up cash and gold bars prosecutors allege are tied to the operation, authorities said.
Nine co-defendants — eight of them women accused of offering sexual acts to undercover officers — were also charged.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
