Lawsuit: Woman Alleges Sex Abuse by Masseuse At SoBe Spa

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A woman and her attorney have filed a lawsuit against a Miami Beach spa after she claimed she was sexually abused by a masseuse.

According to the lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court early Thursday morning, the unnamed woman went to the Sanctuary Hotel on South Beach with her husband on Feb. 20th and purchased a massage at the Sanctuary Spa & Salon through Groupon.

The suit alleges masseuse Juan Fraga failed to use appropriate draping techniques and within 10-15 minutes, she was completely naked.  He proceeded to "massage" her exposed breast and lower belly, saying it was a technique in which he specialized, according to her attorney Jeff Herman.

According to the suit, Fraga continued the sexual conduct by rubbing between her buttocks, legs and private parts and placed his penis in her hand.

The woman has sued the Sanctuary Hotel Group, Inc.
