Troubled Hinsdale Spa Closed For Now
After the owner's arrest, the spa is appealing to keep its business license.
HINSDALE, IL – A Hinsdale spa whose owner is accused of taking secret videos of customers is shut down for the time being, the business said Tuesday.
A person answering Reflexion Spa's phone said the business is closed for the next couple of weeks as the owner works on licensing issues.
The owner, 51-year-old Jason W. Spencer of Houston, faces five felony counts of unauthorized video recordings without getting consent, police said.

In a statement last week, Village President Greg Hart said that after the arrest warrant was issued, the village did not renew Reflexion Spa's business license, which expired in December. Hart said Spencer was told of that decision at the time of his Jan. 15 arrest.
In response to a Patch inquiry, Hart said Tuesday that Reflexion had exercised its right to appeal the decision.
