A New York City woman has filed a lawsuit against wellness app Soothe claiming she was raped by a masseur sent to her home — and she wasn’t the massage therapist’s first sexual assault victim, her lawyer says.
A New York City woman has filed a lawsuit against wellness app Soothe claiming she was raped by a masseur sent to her home — and she wasn’t the massage therapist’s first sexual assault victim, her lawyer said.
The suit was filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court against Soothe Inc, which is based in California, and Evident ID, based in Georgia, which conducts criminal background checks and identity verification for the app service. Police couldn’t comment to NBC News about the alleged assault, given that Werksman knew little about the incident, including the suspect’s real name or where it happened.
Doe suffered “serious personal injuries, emotional distress, mental pain and suffering” as a result of the assault, and seeks unspecified damages, according to the complaint. Doe said in her video statement that she and her husband reported the incident to Soothe, but didn’t hear back until they contacted the company’s CEO on LinkedIn.
In a statement, Soothe Inc. told NBC News: “Our number one priority is the safety of our clients, and we take this allegation very seriously.”
