A massage therapist allegedly touched two women inappropriately during massage sessions at a Whitefish Bay business.
Tremell Wright, 36, of Milwaukee has been charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with two misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree sexual assault.
Both women said they were inappropriately touched during massage sessions at Float Life, a business that primarily specializes in flotation therapy. Wright was working as an independent contractor, but he is no longer employed by the business.
During separate appointments in March, Wright groped two women while massaging them, the women later told police.
One woman was visibly upset and crying while sharing her story with police, according to a criminal complaint. The woman told police she felt "frozen" during the massage and was hoping someone would help her, according to the complaint.
Two days later, a Whitefish Bay police officer spoke with a Float Life employee who said another customer had come forward with a complaint about a March 8 massage with Wright.
Float Life owner James Howe said his business cooperated with Whitefish Bay police in their investigation.
"When we learned about this, we were all shocked and taken aback," Howe said.
Howe said he also contacted the state's Department of Safety and Professional Services, which administers licenses for massage therapists.
Wright is scheduled to make his initial court appearance on May 13.
