There are a couple of threads on the GD thread list today. In the stories, the victims all went home and called Massage Envy to report the assaults. Then, they were put off by the person who answered, who wanted them to return to "discuss their experience."

That's bullshit! Report sexual assaults directly to the police immediately, and from the vicinity of the facility. Don't wait. Don't take excuses. Just call 911.

(not saying it's right) Getting away politely is often the best bet to ensure your physical safety. Corvo Bianco Nov 2017 #8

Good advice...I can't imagine folks being giving free passes HipChick Nov 2017 #9

This advice actually makes it harder for people who have been assaulted to respond. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #10

Why would this not apply to any other instance of sexual assault? brooklynite Nov 2017 #11

I would think it should. People should get to safety and then MineralMan Nov 2017 #12
