“At no point had Arnau indicated, orally or otherwise, that he consented to Tian touching his penis,” the lawsuit states.
The masseur was charged with forcible touching and sexual abuse, but the criminal case is still pending.
“At that point, having shaken off his initial state of shock, Arnau abruptly rose from the massage table and demanded that Tian leave the room.”Īrnau then called the police, who soon arrived and arrested Tian. “As Arnau became more and more uncomfortable with Tian’s focus on his buttocks, Tian moved his fingers below Arnau’s buttocks and began caressing” his privates.Īrnau “completely froze” until the masseur “threw off his towel and told him to turn over,” the court papers continue. As is expected, he stripped down to a towel and laid face down on the massage table.Ībout 10 minutes into “what appeared to be a normal massage,” according to his Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit, masseur Pei Tian allegedly started to focus “exclusively on Arnau’s buttocks for an inordinate amount of time, making Arnau very uncomfortable.” Ronnie Arnau, 34, says he visited Living Fresh Men’s Spa in September with his husband for a routine massage and facial. A New Jersey resident is suing an upscale Manhattan spa after receiving what he felt was an inappropriate massage, the New York Post reports.
