See, over the years, we’ve represented hundreds of survivors who were subjected to sexual abuse during their massages. And it’s important to note that these sexual assaults didn’t happen at some seedy, back-alley massage parlor, but at what are supposed to be establishments staffed by licensed professionals.

Our firm has been fighting for survivors for years. We’ve successfully litigated cases against Massage Envy, Hand & Stone and other independently owned spas and are prepared to take legal action against any other well-known massage studios in and around Philadelphia if warranted, including:

  • Spavia
  • Woodhouse Spa

At Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich & Ryan, we’re committed to securing justice for all forms of spa and massage abuse, regardless of where it took place. Many hotels have dedicated spa and massage services where this type of abuse was allowed to continue unchecked and unpunished. Hotels have faced previous litigation for this, including:

  • Ritz Carlton Hotel
  • W Hotel
  • Four Seasons Hotel
  • Loews Hotel

It doesn’t matter whether the abuse took place at a spa, massage parlor, hotel, or another facility–you deserve justice. Reach out to us to discuss your case and explore your rights.

We don’t charge you anything for that initial case review, and we don’t assess attorney’s fees until we secure a settlement or verdict for you. The time you have to take action is quickly winding down, so contact us to speak with a Philadelphia massage & spa assault lawyer now.

What Is Considered a Sexual Assault During a Massage?

The truth is that any type of undesired, non-consensual sexual contact that occurs while you’re in a massage session may rise to the level of abuse or assault, including your therapist:

  • Kissing
  • Demanding the removal of clothing
  • Making sexually suggestive statements or noises
  • Being forced to touch the therapist
  • Fondling or rubbing of the breasts, butt, or genitalia
  • Sexually charged behavior, such as making passes or advances
  • Rape

Whether you’ve been subjected to the treatment discussed above or something else, our attorneys can provide you with a confidential, safe space to share what happened with us so we can determine if you have a pursuable claim and, if so, advise you of the next best steps you can take to hold liable parties accountable for their actions.
