From the LVRJ: Christina Lafave did the time. Now she’s charged with the crime.
The caper of the missing $35,000 Rolex Presidential watch began with drinks and some chit-chat between Lafave and 66-year-old Kenneth Herold at Wynn Las Vegas’ B Bar on a January night.
Soon the two were heading upstairs to Herold’s suite after he forked over three $100 bills for a private massage offered by the 25-year-old Lafave.
On his left wrist, as seen on security surveillance, was the yellow-colored timepiece. Rolex Presidential watches range in price from $10,000 to upwards of $30,000. The more expensive ones often are encrusted with jewels, such as diamonds....
Lafave then tried to leave, but Wynn security cuffed her and called Metro.
Herold later would tell investigators that once he and Lafave had gone to his room, he disrobed and got onto a massage table that was in the suite. About 30 minutes into the rubdown, Lafave told Herold to take off his watch so she could massage his arms.
He put the watch on the ground within his view. Five to seven minutes later, it was gone.
Lafave steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, so two Metro officers combed the suite for the watch, to no avail.
There was one place they hadn’t looked.
Lafave finally admitted where the watch was, police said.
She was taken to University Medical Center, where she said she was in pain. A search warrant was signed, and an X-ray was taken of Lafave’s midsection.
“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. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/private-massage-ends-arrest
Well, we know Bill Clinton would be glad to have the watch back but would the victim here want it back?
