Hi, everyone. My mother is a Danish citizen living in Denmark. She just reached out to me and told me that she was sexually assaulted by her massage therapist today. He groped her breasts (including her nipples) and butt repeatedly while breathing in her ear and telling her how beautiful she is. She froze, because she was terrified in this situation, and now isn't sure what to do. I'm in America and am unfamiliar with Danish laws. Can she report him to a kind of better business bureau or go to the police? What options do we have for making sure this doesn't happen to anyone else? Thank you so much for any insight you can provide!

kp7u5mkThat's why I asked what kind of place. First she should contact the police. Secondly the fitness center (his place of employment).
There is no license required to be a massage therapist, and if he was self employed, it's a bit more difficult.
It's also the reason why I found it weird. As a massage therapist you are pretty exposed to complaints. You are easily replaced and black listed, and if self employed you live off your reputation. Obviously sick people exist.
Edit:
And a massage parlor in Denmark is often times legal prostitution. I have a Spanish friend that went wrong on that one, when he had som back spasms.

kp7unkhThat makes sense. He is unfortunately the owner of the business, which means he has more power in the situation than if he were just an employee. I'm shocked he would risk his reputation like this too.

kpaidczHe’s probably gotten away with it before unfortunately.
