Defense gathering evidence

Spa employees and the main accuser
Several spa employees reportedly reported problematic behavior in relation to the case. Spa massage therapists are listed among the people involved in those reports. Verdez referenced “strange and problematic practices” as part of the accounts from spa staff.
Judicial supervision eased
