Hand & Stone Massage Sexual Assault Lawsuits: Sexual Misconduct On The Rise

It started with Massage Envy, the nation's largest chain of massage spa franchises. Nearly 180 women have stepped forward to accuse massage therapists working at franchise locations of sexual assault, leading to criminal investigations, civil lawsuits, and major headlines. Unfortunately, sexual abuse can also be found in other areas, including by doctors. Learn more from our team of doctor sexual assault attorneys.

Civil Sex Assault Lawsuits Filed Against Hand & Stone Spa

Now, a second massage franchise has become embroiled in the national scandal. In police reports and civil legal documents, dozens of women say massage therapists at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa sexually assaulted them.

Is Sexual Assault Crisis On The Way?

While the scope of Hand and Stone's problem is still unknown, some sexual assault survivors believe that the franchise company should be held accountable.

All businesses in America (and Canada, for that matter) are bound to put adequate measures in place to protect their customers and guests from unlawful activity. But many Hand and Stone massage therapists have been accused of sexually assaulting multiple victims.

Hand & Stone Sexual Abuse Attorneys Launch Full Investigation

In their civil lawsuits, a number of survivors say Hand & Stone isn't doing enough to protect its customers. We've even heard stories of sexual assault survivors being ignored or dismissed by Hand and Stone employees after making a complaint.

As more and more women continue to step forward, our experienced sexual assault attorneys are opening a full investigation into Hand and Stone's sexual assault policies.

Is Hand & Stone Liable For Sexual Assaults?

Like so many survivors, we believe the Hand and Stone franchise itself, along with individual franchise owners, could be held responsible for unwanted sexual advances, nonconsensual sexual touching and rape.

These are serious charges, which should be reported to the police immediately. Our experienced assault lawyers have already seen several Hand and Stone massage therapists come to justice, as criminal prosecutors pursue severe penalties through the criminal justice system.

Why Civil Justice Is A Necessary Option

However, the criminal justice system is not designed to support victims. Most victims of crime will never see any compensation in the wake of a horrific violation, despite having been traumatized under terrible circumstances.

The civil justice system fills this gap, allowing sexual assault survivors to pursue financial compensation and accountability by filing their own private lawsuits. Pursuing a civil lawsuit allows you to take charge of this horrible situation, rather than have your allegations, your experience, dismissed or ignored.

Our sexual assault attorneys led the charge against Massage Envy, filing some of the first sexual assault lawsuits to ever be leveled against the company. Now, nearly 180 lawsuits later, we're still breaking ground in the fight toward safer massage spas and victim compensation.
