Department of Health Files Sexual Misconduct Complaint Against Naples Massage Therapist

Department of Health Files Sexual Misconduct Complaint Against Naples Massage Therapist

Sexual Misconduct Complaint Against Naples Massage Therapist

On January 22, 2020, the Florida Department of Health filed an Administrative Complaint against massage therapist Josh Lowman alleging that he committed sexual misconduct.  Lowman was working at MassageLuXe located at 2460 Vanderbilt Beach Rd #400, Naples, FL 34109 at the time of the alleged incident.  According to the Complaint, in July 2018, Lowman inappropriately touched a female patient while giving her a massage. He allegedly caressed her inner thigh, as well as her vaginal area over her underwear, without her consent.  Additionally, he reportedly tried to caress her breasts. According to public records, Lowman was later employed at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa on Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers, Florida.  He has been licensed as a massage therapist since April 2018.

All sexual conduct is outside the scope of lawful massage practice.  It is considered sexual misconduct, which constitutes grounds for disciplinary action by the Board of Massage Therapy. The Florida Department of Health requested that the Board impose one or more penalties on Lowman, including, but not limited to the permanent revocation or suspension of his massage therapy license, payment a fine, or placing him on probation. 

The stresses of life can easily overwhelm us. When patients book a massage, it is to decompress and relax. They trust that the massage therapists employed at the spa are carefully vetted and safe. This is the reason regulating the practice of massage therapy is necessary. It is both unacceptable and unlawful for any employee to touch a patient in a sexual manner. Sadly, these are not isolated incidents and we have seen multiple complaints alleging sexual misconduct by massage therapists employed at Massage LuXe and Hand and Stone among many others spas.

Horowitz Law has filed numerous sexual misconduct claims against massage therapists on behalf of clients who were inappropriately touched at massage parlors and other spas and resorts. If you have been a victim of sexual assault or sexual battery during a massage, or if you know someone who has, please contact our law firm at 888-283-9922 or send an e-mail to sexual abuse lawyer Adam Horowitz at adam@adamhorowitzlaw.com for a free consultation.
