Sexual assault and misconduct claims in the massage room have
dramatically increased. Tamara Friedman, the owner of Tamara Spa in
Farmington Hills, feels like she dodged a bullet. She hired an
enthusiastic male massage therapist who gained an immediate
following with clients. Then one day, a young female customer
complained that he "went too far" during a massage.
When the therapist denied any inappropriate behavior, Friedman gave
him another chance. Soon thereafter, a second female client left
the massage room in tears. "I was shocked," Friedman says. "She
said that he uncovered her, removed the towel from her breasts and
said, 'This is a good area to massage.' On her legs, he went higher
than he should have. He later told me that she seemed to enjoy
it."
