A Missouri massage therapist was taken into custody after a client reported alleged sexual abuse during an appointment, according to the authorities.
The incident was reported on April 24 at a massage business in Liberty. A client told the authorities he had gone to the location seeking treatment for back pain. During the session, he said he was first positioned on his stomach while the therapist worked on his back. He later claimed the therapist instructed him to turn over. After that, the therapist allegedly began touching his upper body before moving lower, pulling down his clothing, and making inappropriate contact. The client said he immediately ended the session and left the business.
When the authorities arrived, they spoke with the therapist, who reportedly claimed that only two female clients had been seen that day and that both were currently in sessions. After the authorities explained the complaint, the therapist allegedly stated she did not understand English and said she spoke Mandarin. A translator was then used during further questioning.
