PRINCETON TOWNSHIP - A 50-year-old single mother faces prostitution charges for allegedly running a one-woman brothel masquerading as a massage therapy parlor from a Griggs Farm apartment, township police said yesterday.

The woman, Meryl A. James, was arrested Tuesday and charged with prostitution and controlling a house of prostitution, police said.

Her arrest followed a month-long investigation that authorities launched after a tip from one of James' neighbors in the 280-unit development where James lives with her teenage child, a law-enforcement source said on condition of anonymity.

The investigation, which is ongoing, relied on a male undercover detective from the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, township police Capt. Mark Emann said.

"He went there for a massage and was offered a sexual favor," Emann said.

James, who was released on her own recognizance and faces a hearing on the charges Tuesday in municipal court here, denied the allegations in an interview yesterday.

"They're totally false," said James, who referred to herself as the Rev. Meryl James, ordained by an interfaith ministry known as the Universal Brotherhood.
