SAN DIEGO - A former San Diego Vice Detective is under arrest accused of operating an illegal business.
Peter Griffin, 78, was arrested last Thursday outside of his home in San Diego. The U.S. Attorneys Office says he owned and operated five massage businesses in California and Arizona between 2013 and this year with at least three other people. The businesses apparently advertised sexual services online and employed multiple women for those services.
Prosecutors say Griffin worked in a unit in the San Diego Police Department that investigated the type of illegal businesses he's now accused of operating and promoting.
Two other people involved in the business were also arrested but a third remains at large.
