Massage sexual assault cases involve serious violations of trust and professional boundaries in a setting where clients are especially vulnerable. When that trust is broken, survivors are often left questioning what happened, how it was allowed to happen, and whether anyone will take them seriously. If you experienced sexual assault or inappropriate conduct during a massage at a Massage Heights location, you may have legal options.
TLO Law, P.C. represents survivors of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct connected to massage and spa businesses nationwide. These cases are different from other forms of abuse because they occur in a setting where physical touch is expected and the client is uniquely vulnerable – often undressed, alone, and trusting the therapist to maintain professional boundaries in a private treatment room. Survivors often minimize what happened or blame themselves, especially when a business attempts to frame the experience as a misunderstanding or handles the situation quietly. You deserve to be heard, and you deserve accountability.
Attorneys Kristen Vierhaus and Bobby Thompson filed a civil lawsuit in Placer County Superior Court against Massage Heights and the franchise owner arising from allegations that their massage therapist, Kyle Blowers, sexually assaulted a client during an appointment at Massage Heights – Nugget Plaza in Roseville, California (Jane Doe (A.G.) v. The Del Vee Group, Inc., et al., Case No. S-CV-0052062). The lawsuit alleged that Blowers was not properly licensed and that he assaulted multiple clients within the same week. It further alleged that he had been hired only about a month before, and that basic screening and verification steps – required by Massage Heights’ own policies and procedures – were not completed before he was allowed to work alone in treatment rooms with vulnerable clients.
According to the lawsuit, immediately after Blowers was arrested in connection with the assault of Jane Doe (A.G.), he was arrested again on separate allegations involving the sexual abuse of children. The complaint further alleged that Massage Heights had prior warning signs, including a previous report of rape at the same location, yet failed to implement and enforce basic safeguards to protect the public. The civil matter has since been resolved through settlement.
