Promo for 'Healing Touch'-based TV series airs (+VIDEO)

The 2010 Lifetime movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt inspired by Odessa's 2004 "Healing Touch" scandal is set to have a television series of the same premise released in March.

In May 2004, an investigation of The Healing Touch massage parlor in Odessa began when police arrested owners Sharon Ann Joyner and Kathy Sue Shrum. The two, along with Janet Elaine Lietz, who owned Middessa Therapy, were eventually charged with felony aggravated promotion of prostitution.

On July 27, 2005 police arrested 74 people — including Shrum and Joyner — in connection with the investigation. The bulk of those arrested were charged with Class B misdemeanor “prostitution” charges.

Filming for the series began Jan. 12 and recently a promotional music video for the initial 10-episode run was released on the Internet.

What do you think of it? Do you plan to watch it when it airs?
