‘Masseuse’ nabs $60K in loot from casino player, cops say

An offer of a massage turned out to be a pricey proposition for a man visiting the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

A woman approached the 52-year-old New Jersey man early Tuesday morning at casino elevators, and told him he looked stressed.

Cassidy Reign Paris told the man she was a masseuse, and asked if he needed a massage, Seminole police said.

Paris, 30, accompanied the man to his hotel room. She gave him a massage, told him to take off his pants and they got in bed, a police report said.

They kissed, then Paris told the man her chest hurt. She headed to the bathroom.

While he was still in bed, the man heard the hotel room door open and close.

He got up to find himself alone, and discovered $10,000 in cash, $6,100 in poker chips and his $50,000 Patek Philippe watch were all gone, the report said.

Video surveillance recorded Paris leaving the hotel room and running to the elevators, through the casino and into the parking garage to a red car, police said.

Seminole police traced the car’s Texas tag to an auto rental company , which had good news for detectives: The car was equipped with a GPS device.

Police found it about four miles east of the casino at a Days Inn Motel at 2601 N. 29th Avenue in Hollywood, where Paris was arrested.

“Surveillance video is everywhere,” said Gary Bitner, a spokesman for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, which owns the resort. “And combined with a GPS tracker on a rental car, police were able to arrest her the same day.”

Police say Paris admitted to entering the man’s room. They arrested her on suspicion of committing grand theft greater than $20,000 and up to $100,000.

Police in South Florida have arrested several people in so-called “temptress” cases, where at least one woman accompanies a man to a hotel, and he later reports that his valuables disappeared along with his newfound friends.

Broward County Judge Kim Theresa Mollica set a $5,000 bond for Paris during a hearing Wednesday.

She ordered Paris not to contact the man she met at the casino and not to return there. Assistant Public Defender Hector Romero said Paris had a friend who would pay the bond to get her out of jail.

On Friday afternoon, Paris, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was still behind bars.
