Las Vegas Masseuse Accused Of Stealing Clients Watch And Putting In Her Privates

A Las Vegas masseuse named Christina Lafave is accused of stealing her client’s $35,000 Rolex and hiding it in her vagina.

According to NY Daily News reports Lafave met the client, Kenneth Herold, 66, at the bar at the Wynn Hotel in January before the pair headed to his room for a $300 massage.

Herold told cops he disrobed and climbed onto a massage table where Lafave proceeded to massage him for some 30 minutes before asking him to remove his watch to allow her to work on his arms. He placed the timepiece on the floor within his sight, but after five minutes he realized it was gone. Herold accused Lafave of taking his Rolex and called hotel security. When police arrived they searched the room but were unable to find Herold’s watch.

Lafave eventually admitted to taking the watch and stashing it in her snatch.

Police brought her to the University Medical center to have the timepiece removed.

“Prior to medical staff assisting Lafave with the removal of the watch she admitted to them that she had stolen a watch and concealed the item in her vagina,” a police report said.

Lafave was arrested on felony grand larceny charges and possession of stolen property and released on $40,000 bail.

Lafave’s lawyer, Chris Rasmussen, told the Review Journal that she plans on fighting the case, claiming illegal search-and-seizure.

“We intend to file a motion to suppress the medical intrusion,” he said.

“The search is an unreasonable search when medical providers have to use equipment to conduct an invasive procedure to remove what police believe is evidence,” he added.

Herold and Lafave’s rendezvous was a consensual encounter, Rasmussen said. “We believe he gave her the watch and later he tried to take it back when he wasn’t satisfied with her services. Like any person who works in these hotels, she believed she was going to be compensated for her massage.”

In addition to her work as a “masseuse” Lafave also has Metro-issued work cards allowing her to dance at several local strip clubs including Cheetahs, Cover Girls and Babes.

She is scheduled to appear in court on May 15. She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
