A man has been charged with sexually abusing two clients at a St. Louis massage chain’s location in Shrewsbury.

Caleb Israel Isaiah Holmes, 31, of the 3500 block of Magnolia Avenue in the Tower Grove East neighborhood, was charged Tuesday, Feb. 25, with sexual abuse and sodomy, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. He is currently jailed on a $100,000 bond.

The charges stem from Holmes allegedly inappropriately touching two women while they were getting massages in September and October 2024 at the MassageLuxe at 7505 Watson Road in Shrewsbury, according to the probable cause statement filed with the case. Following the incidents, Holmes was fired from Massage Luxe, the statement noted.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office commended the victims for coming forward, and encouraged any other victims of Holmes to do the same. Anyone who has experienced similar incidents with Holmes is urged to contact the Shrewsbury Police Department at 314-647-5656.

Holmes has no other prior charges in St. Louis County, but a restraining order was filed in the city of St. Louis against him in May 2024 for stalking, court records show.

In October 2024, a man was charged with sexually abusing a client while he was a massage therapist at the Massage Luxe in Kirkwood. Jon Lindbergh, 24, was charged with sexual abuse and sodomy, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. The case is still pending.
