About Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is devastating. This is especially true when abusers take the form of a trusted person like a mentor, teacher, or caregiver. It can take a lifetime to mend the emotional and mental pain after sexual abuse. This is why The Michael Brady Lynch Firm is dedicated to helping victims of sexual abuse receive civil justice.

Massage Envy Sexual Abuse

Massage Envy is an Arizona-based company with 1,200 franchises across the country. Last November, Buzzfeed revealed that massage therapists assaulted nearly 200 customers. Now, more women in Palm Beach County have filed suit against the company. One woman reports that during her third visit to Massage Envy the therapist inappropriately touched her without consent. When she reported the incident, the company took no action against the therapist. In fact, the company actively tried to conceal her complaint. In fact, the company tried to convince the woman to not report to law enforcement or even state massage therapy boards.
This isn’t confined to a specific area. Five plaintiffs in California filed suit against the company Massage Envy for negligence, sexual battery, gender violence, false imprisonment, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress after Massage Envy sexual abuse sustained at franchises. The 200 complaints Buzzfeed discovered are by women from around the country. The common denominator in all the cases was Massage Envy ignoring or mishandling their complaints.
