"American Idol" runner-up David Archuleta's dad, Jeff Archuleta, was charged with soliciting a massage parlor prostitute, stemming from a raid in January.

According to People, Jeff pleaded no contest and paid a $582 fine after being arrested at the Queens of Reiki on Jan. 14 in Midvale, Utah.

During the raid, Midvale officers found one client -- Jeff Archuleta -- receiving services.

Details below ...

"Two of our detectives went back to that room to stop the activity," Midvale Police Sgt. John Salazar told news outlets. "Inside they found a female masseuse and male client. At that time an interview ensued and the male client admitted to receiving sexual gratification from the masseuse."

Court documents reveal that Jeff Archuleta, 41, was the client.

But Jeff Archuleta's lawyer Eric Bauer told a Midvale news station that his client was there getting legitimate massage therapy for his back.

Gosh, what do you think?

Most agonizing moment for David Archuleta

YOU IDIOT.. You don't think anyone will actual believe you were there for you back. Shame on you.


Do you actually think anyone will believe him. NOT

Shame on him...


LOL poor kid :/


It is between him and his wife. None of our business


Now maybe he will get the hell out of his son's life and let the kid succeed.


We don't have any right to be nosy of how he gets off. It's his choice. Like David carridine. You don't want people to get in your business either right ?


Once again this guy is bringing bad press into David's life which is what ruined his chances on AI. I hope David can somehow separate himself from this controlling scumbag - he deserves better.


For all you know half of the story is exagerated - what's new with the media.

JUST IGNORE THE GARBAGE !


AHHHH HOPPY ENDING!!

YOU BAA BOY YOU BAA BOY


There should be a massive campaign to have Jive fire Jeff as David's manager. Poor David going on tour with a Disney star and having to deal with this.
