"Popular chain Massage Envy faces allegations of sexual assault – and that it mishandled those claims.
"An investigation by BuzzFeed News
found more than 180 women have accused therapists at Massage Envy of
groping and other sexual acts. Massage Envy told CBS News their
therapists have done 125 million massages over the past 15 years. Still,
it said even one incident is too many, reports CBS News' Meg Oliver.
"Susan
Ingram said her masseur turned into a sexual predator during her
seventh visit with him at a Massage Envy location in 2015.
"'I was really in a state of shock, disbelief, fear,' Ingram said.
"She said it started when James Deiter began rubbing his groin against her.
"'He lifted up my body, groped both of my breasts roughly and
aggressively. Put his hands down to the lower part of my body,' Ingram
said.
"Too disturbed to report the assault immediately, she called the manager after she got home.
"'She said in a very apparently scripted response, "We invite you in to
talk about your services." And I said, "No, no, no you don't
understand,"' Ingram said.
"According to BuzzFeed News, Ingram is
just one of more than 180 women who 'have filed sexual assault lawsuits,
police reports, and state board complaints against Massage Envy spas,
their employees, and the national company. … Over 100 reported that
massage therapists groped their genitals, groped their breasts, or
committed other explicit violations.'"

There's a good job for me. I could be a massage therapist. I could do it out of my apartment. Give me an old ironing board and some mineral oil, and I'm set. Massages by Orbs. I can even offer clients a swim in the pool.
