Florida law firm Gordon and Doner is filing a lawsuit on behalf of individuals who were sexually assaulted by Massage Envy therapists.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, August 29, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On Monday, August 27, Gordon & Doner filed a nearly 200-page lawsuit against Massage Envy over allegations of sexual assault against massage therapists in Palm Beach County and other places in Florida. (Case # 50-2018-CA-010855-XXXX-MB) Massage Envy is facing numerous allegations of failing to report/address sexual assault and misconduct by its therapists. Nationwide, more than 180 people have reported being groped, raped, and exposed to other criminal behavior by Massage Envy therapists. Many individuals reported their claims to Massage Envy, but their complaints were grossly mishandled and/or ignored.

Massage Envy is a billion-dollar spa chain that holds approximately 67 percent share of the franchised day-spa market according to IBISWorld. The chain employs over 20,000 massage therapists at nearly 1,200 locations nationwide.

According to media outlets, Massage Envy's 'Behind Closed Doors' training material teaches employees and owners how to prevent incidents from being reported to law enforcement rather than informing them how to properly investigate these very serious allegations. A reporter told CBS News, that “I just found that these Massage Envy spa employees were not equipped to handle serious allegations of sexual assault on their own.”

Court records show that some of the accused massage therapists were sent to different Massage Envy locations rather than being fired and reported to state regulatory boards. As such, there are little or no records of the explicit misconduct. Research shows that some Massage Envy Spas kept massage therapists on staff after multiple misconduct complaints.
