Legal Options For Victims of Massage Therapist Sexual Assault

Attorney contributor Dan Lipman sexual assault victims lawyer who has represented several massage therapist sexual assault victims in civil lawsuits. Here is Dan with some information on the legal rights of these victims:

Massage therapy is a profession that requires trustworthiness, as therapists are trusted to be alone with clients. While most massage therapists are trustworthy, there have also been widespread reports of predatory massage therapists sexually assaulting their clients. The industry must stay aware of this problem and the owners of spas and other massage therapy businesses have a legal duty to protect their customers from these predators.

Some incidents of massage therapist sexual assault are preventable and only happen because of negligence by the massage therapist's employer. For example, a spa owner could be considered negligent if there had been previous complaints of sexual misconduct involving a massage therapist but those complaints went unanswered.

In cases where third-party negligence is involved, massage therapist sexual assault victims may have grounds for a lawsuit against the business where they were assaulted.
