In an emotional address Tuesday, Sandipkumar Patel explained how his erroneous arrest in the ongoing sex spa investigation upended his life. “Imagine thinking about killing yourself,” Patel, 47, said. “This did not have to happen, and there is nothing that can erase the hell my family and I went through.”
Law-enforcement officials in Martin, Palm Beach and Indian River counties beginning last month started sharing details into investigations of several spas raided after they said men paid for sex acts there.More than 60 men have been arrested in connection with the Martin County cases, and more than 130 in the Indian River County cases.
Martin Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Dougherty last week said Patel, of Jensen Beach, was wrongly identified as having patronized Florida Therapy Spa for sex acts in Stuart Nov. 19 because of confusion from a Porsche in the spa’s parking lot registered to a different person with the last name Patel.
