Common Types of Massage Spa Sex Crimes
While most massage therapists are respectable professionals, some can take advantage of their positions of power and authority over clients to commit sex crimes. Many types of sexual misconduct can occur at a massage spa, including:
- Unwelcome or inappropriate sexual touching
- Kissing or hugging a client without consent
- Sexual exploitation of a client
- Indecent exposure of private parts
- Sexual assault under the guise of standard massage therapy
- Fondling, stroking or groping of the private parts
- Digital penetration (the use of digits or fingers)
- Object penetration
- Forced oral copulation
- Rape or attempted rape
If you have experienced any type of inappropriate or criminal sexual conduct by a massage therapist in Illinois, you may be entitled to financial justice through an insurance claim or the civil courts.
Your Rights as a Survivor
Massage spas in Illinois must abide by the legal requirements of the Massage Licensing Act’s Administrative Code in terms of hiring licensed, qualified and properly vetted massage therapists. If a massage spa such as Massage Envy or a local company is negligent – meaning it fails to exercise proper care – it may hire unqualified and dangerous massage therapists.
If you are sexually assaulted, abused or harassed by a therapist during a massage in Illinois, you have the right to seek justice through both the civil and criminal court systems. Filing a civil lawsuit against the massage spa could hold the company accountable for failing to protect you, while a criminal case against the perpetrator could lead to a conviction and sentence.
