But an hour into a 90-minute session, the suit alleges, the therapist 'continued moving his hands along Plaintiff’s legs, and then without warning and without Plaintiff’s consent … touched Plaintiff’s vagina with his hands and began rubbing Plaintiff’s vagina.' The therapist then 'grabbed her butt crack,” court documents say.ĭallas-based attorney Michelle Simpson Tuegel, who represented multiple plaintiffs in sexual assault cases against disgraced former Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, is bringing the case against Elements. Jane Doe ‘‘matched’ with a male therapist who in January 2021 after two initial sessions “took advantage of Plaintiff’s vulnerable state of undress to assault her,” the lawsuit alleges. The lawsuit, filed in Collin County, claims that after two years of receiving treatments at the massage parlor, she requested a special deep tissue massage that only certain therapists at the location were licensed to perform. That therapist, she says, groped her genitals. Jane Doe, whose identity is concealed court documents because of the nature of her allegation, says she received massage therapy treatments at an Elements Massage franchise in Frisco for two years before she was matched with a licensed male therapist. A Denton County woman filed a lawsuit against a nationwide massage therapy company Tuesday, claiming she was sexually assaulted.
