According to court records, the incident lasted almost 10 minutes. At one point, Vasquez told the victim to “turn over on to her back and called her 'princess',” according to police.

The victim also told investigators she “froze during the incident and was not sure what to do… feeling uncomfortable and helpless.”


According to state records, Vasquez’s massage therapy license has remained active since his arrest in January. However, his attorney told Judge Brett Loveless on Friday that Vasquez has since shut down his practice.

Prosecutors asked the court to revoke Vasquez’s massage therapy license. Judge Loveless ordered Vasquez not to perform any type of massage therapy as the criminal case against him proceeds but did not revoke his license.

Vasquez declined to comment to KOB following Friday’s court proceeding.
