Massage therapist Yakima accused of rape
The message therapist has been charged with third-degree rape. He can go to the Ministry of Health to challenge the suspension of his license to practice.
YAKIMA, Wash. — A Yakima County massage therapist has been charged with third-degree rape after allegedly “exhibiting a pattern of sexual misconduct against clients,” and his license has been suspended as a result.
Jesus Bautista Rodriguez, 40, was charged in March 2022 for an alleged 2021 incident involving a client, who claimed Rodrigeuz sexually assaulted her during a shoot. The client told the spa owner and Rodriguez was fired, according to a statement of charges prepared by the Department of Health.
Rodriguez “allegedly touched several clients in a sexual manner during their massage sessions and did not obtain their consent when he removed their clothing or adjusted the drape. These allegations pose an immediate danger and risk of harm to the public and future customers,” the document reads.
The documents did not specify where he was employed.
Since then, four other women have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Rodriguez, the DOH wrote.
The charges and the case were brought to the attention of the DOH and the Secretary of Health on January 30, 2023. As a result, Rodriguez’s license was suspended.
Rodriguez has been licensed by the state since 2017.
He cannot practice as a massage therapist during the suspension. He has 20 days from January 31 to request a hearing to contest the charges.
