   After a five-week investigation that included undercover officers being propositioned for sex acts, South Brunswick police charged two New York women with prostitution after executing a search warrant on their Route 130 massage therapy office at 6:30 p.m. May 3.
   Natalyia Tsisyk, 25, of Peekskill, N.Y., and Olga Lotareva, 22, of Brooklyn, N.Y., were charged with prostitution, police said. The women were released pending a May 11 Municipal Court date.
   Police had been investigating the Reflex Center in a corporate park on the northbound side of Route 130, south of the intersection with Route 32, after complaints from neighboring businesses about "a constant flow of men to the office in addition to scantily clad" women in the office, police said.
   Investigators learned about the massage parlor after seeing it advertised on a Web site that allows people to rate spas. Some leave comments describing what the women who worked at the office look like and what sex acts they are willing to do for money.
   Undercover officers made appointments to have massages at the Reflex Center twice within the past 30 days. After approximately a half-hour into their visit, both officers were solicited for sexual activity, police said.
