Legal Rights of Massage Therapist Sexual Assault Victims

Attorney contributor Bobby Thompson, a sex crimes lawyer, has represented several victims of massage therapist sexual assault in civil lawsuits. Bobby has offered to add some thoughts on the legal rights of sexual assault victims:

“Massage therapists are trusted to treat their clients with respect and professionalism. But sadly not all massage therapists are reputable. This field has encountered major problems with workers sexually assaulting clients in both small companies and big chains like Massage Envy throughout the United States. Massage therapists who sexually assault clients must be held criminally responsible for their actions and victims may have grounds for a lawsuit against the perpetrator or even the business,” concluded Mr. Thompson.
