While New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft fights charges that he solicited prostitutes at a Jupiter day spa, a line in his arrest report sparked the attention of the NBC 6 Investigators.
In it, police said they found posts about the spa's services on a public website called RubMaps. When we searched the site, we found more than places listed in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, including "Bella Spa for Men" - which is located just steps away from a daycare in Davie. A Google search of the spa brought up ads with photos of scantily clad women and ads offering "happy endings. The daycare owner told us that he has never seen anything "strange" in the spa but said "my teachers, they never liked that business.
State business records show the spa is owned by Karina Bickers, who was arrested twice during prostitution stings at area massage parlors. Court records show the first prostitution charge was dropped. The second time she reached a deal that included paying court costs and getting tested for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases.
NBC 6 Investigators sent three male staff members undercover to Bella Spa on different days to see what services were really being offered. I don't know if you could be a cop,'" he said. Another staffer got a similar response when he asked the owner about the "happy endings" that are advertised online. No one complains when they leave. Everyone comes in looking for a good time and what they offer is a good time,'" he recalled.
Bickers declined to talk about what we found on camera but told us that her business only offers waxing services. The spa's website displays photos of nearly naked women, some rubbing their bodies against unclothed and unidentifiable men.
