Happy Ending

The father of "American Idol" star David Archuleta was busted for hiring a massage parlor prostitute following a January raid in Utah.

James Jeffrey Archuleta, the father of the “Idol” season 7 runner-up, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge and paid a $582 fine after he was caught at a police raid of the Queens of Reiki on January 14 in Midvale.

Fox 13 KSTU first broke the story of the investigation of the massage parlor, which began after a concerned citizen called police. Detective Sgt. John Salazar of the Midvale Police said that they determined that the parlor was operating without a business license and ordered the raid.

When the officers arrived, they found only one client, Archuleta.

“He was just finishing up in suite number one. I sent two of the officers in and the male was on his stomach on the table with a masseuse in lace underwear.”

According to police, Archuleta, 41, admitted that he received sexual favors from the parlor after he found an ad for it on Craigslist.

Still, according to a report in Us Magazine, his lawyer argued that he was there getting legitimate massage therapy for his back.
