Dozens of women have accused massage therapists at Hand and Stone franchise locations across the country of sexual assault. Our experienced attorneys, after taking on Massage Envy in a number of similar cases, have opened a full investigation into this emerging issue.
If you or a loved one were assaulted at a Stone and Hand in Pennsylvania, our committed PA sexual assault lawyers are here to help.
With multiple sexual assaults reported in Pennsylvania, Florida, Maryland, and Canada, we believe that many other victims have yet to step forward.
Pennsylvania stands at the center of this emerging issue. In 2017, two massage therapists who worked at Hand and Stone locations in Langhorne and Philadelphia were convicted for sexual offenses. One man, 37-year-old David Elijah Ward, was accused of assaulting two female clients at the franchise's Langhorne shop. Both men lost their Pennsylvania massage licenses after the convictions were entered.
Stone and Hand Massage and Facial Spa has over 100 locations in North America, with 34 franchises in Pennsylvania:
If sexual assaults have yet to be reported in connection to these additional locations, a new wave of sexual assault lawsuits could be on the way.
Every business in America, including massage spas, have an ethical and legal obligation to provide their clients with adequate protection against dangerous sexual predators. Massage businesses, in particular, must be careful to adequately background check prospective employees and ensure that their massage licenses are up to date.
All of these steps are designed to keep clients safe, but in recent lawsuits, sexual assault survivors accuse Hand and Stone franchises of failing to do so. Lawsuits are also being filed against Hand and Stone's corporate office, with claims that the company's executives failed to put in place adequate franchise-level measures to filter out dangerous sexual predators.
Many victims have also taken issue with Hand and Stone's protocols for reporting the assault to law enforcement and following up with victims after assault complaints have been filed.
