Archuleta Sr. became famous as the Stage Dad from Hell during his son’s time on American Idol.  He was seen chewing out his young song for not performing up to his expectations.

Eric Bauer, the attorney representing Archuleta, claims this was the one and only time his client had ever been to Reiki Massage Parlor and went only for a back problem.  Bauer said sexual contact did not occur.
