What is massage sexual misconduct?
According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), every 73 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. RAINN further reports that 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Many use massage services to relax or to treat chronic pain. With this is mind, during a massage, you may find yourself undressed, in a dimly lit room, and alone with a massage therapist. While massages are often an opportunity to unwind, your massage can turn into sexual violence if you are touched inappropriately.  

​Sexual violence can include:
  • Oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another
  • Anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object
  • Exposure his or her sexual organs in a vulgar or indecent manner
  • Attempted rape
  • Fondling or unwanted sexual touching of the  breasts, genitals, genital area, or buttocks, or the clothing covering them

What damages are available to victims of sexual violence?
As a result of sexual violence and sexual misconduct you may be entitled to damages for:
  • ​Past, current, and future medical costs
  • Lost wages from being out of work
  • Therapy and other mental health services
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of capacity for enjoyment of life
​
What is the difference between a criminal and civil sexual violence case?
In a criminal sexual violence case, the government files suit against the accused. If the accused is found guilty, he or she may go to prison or jail.  While offenders of sexual violence and misconduct may be prosecuted in criminal court, victims can seek compensation for damages with a civil claim. With civil claims, the accused does not go to jail.
