CREATED 12:28 PMLas Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- You get a massage to relax and to recover from stress. You trust you're in a safe and secure environment.
But as Contact 13 Chief Investigator Darcy Spears discovered, massage clients are increasingly becoming victims.
"Anyone should feel safe walking into a situation where you have to be disrobed and your body will be touched."
But that was exactly the situation that left Audra a victim, "I don't see myself as a victim and yet I don't know how to ignore it."
In the last few months, the state has seen a sharp increase in complaints against massage therapists.
"I know that for every victim we get, there's at least 20 people out there that are being victimized."
In a six-month investigation, Contact 13 uncovered lawsuits and criminal complaints, finding predators who leave a trail of victims before anything is done to stop them.
