Miami-Dade Police arrested 29-year-old massage therapist Georges Plummer after a female client reported she was sexually assaulted by Plummer on Monday, April 1st at 9:15 am. The alleged victim, 31, was intending to receive a massage from Plummer at OUM Lymphatic Massage in Aventura, Florida. She had received two prior massages from Plummer without incident.
According to media reports, during the massage appointment, Plummer pulled the victim's underwear to the side and rubbed the victim's genitals with his palm. Plummer then reportedly told the victim, "We are going to do something to relax you more," at which time he removed her underwear, before sexually battering the victim with his fingers. Plummer is accused of digitally penetrating and performing oral sex on the victim for "10 to 20 minutes", as his client attempted to push away his hand and told him to stop several times, before he eventually stopped. The alleged victim quickly reported the incident to the Miami-Dade Police, who arrested Plummer and he was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
A Miami-Dade judge found probable cause to charge Plummer with sexual battery, before granting him $10,000 bond and ordered him to stay away from the accuser. George Plummer has been licensed as a massage therapist in Florida since 2013 according to Florida Department of Health records. His license was in good standing at the time of his arrest.
