Attorneys File Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Fort Worth Massage Envy

FORT WORTH, Texas , April 25 /Businesswire/ - Attorneys at Blizzard Greenberg have filed a lawsuit against a Fort Worth-area Massage Envy on behalf of a woman who was sexually assaulted during her appointment.

“There are hundreds of known reports of sexual assault at Massage Envy franchises all over the country,” said trial lawyer Anna Greenberg. “The company fosters a secretive and negligent environment at the expense of their paying customers.”

The complaint describes how a Fort Worth woman, identified as A.C. in the lawsuit, was gifted a full-body massage appointment with Massage Envy by her husband. At the beginning of the session, the male massage therapist made inappropriate comments to A.C.

About halfway through the appointment, the lawsuit says A.C. dozed off and woke up to the masseur groping her breasts. After expressing her distress and asking the man to stop, the complaint accuses him of then massaging her buttocks with the sheet completely down. She again told him to stop, at which point he began massaging her upper thighs between her legs and attempted to pull her legs apart.

According to the lawsuit, A.C. ended the appointment and left in a panic. She called her husband crying and the two reported the incident to Massage Envy and Fort Worth police.

“This is a systemic problem with Massage Envy,” said Ms. Greenberg. “The company must begin implementing updated safety procedures to ensure more women do not fall victim to negligent hiring and training practices.”

Just last year, attorneys at Blizzard Greenberg secured a maximum policy limits settlement against another Massage Envy location in Houston on behalf of multiple sexual assault victims.

The new case is A.C. v Massage Envy Franchising, LLC, et al., cause number 348-352233-24 in Tarrant County District Court.
