On April 29, 2026, investigators with the Lawrence Kansas Police Department arrested a 31-year-old male masseur on suspicion of r**e, KSA 21-5503(1)(A).

LKPD is asking anyone who visited Lawrence Thai Massage at the corner of 23rd and Haskell (951 E. 23rd) and experienced inappropriate behavior during a therapy session to contact LKPD investigators.

Investigators sent an affidavit to the District Attorney for charging consideration, which details events alleging non-consensual sexual contact between a male employee and a 19-year-old female massage client.

LKPD’s Investigators were dispatched to the establishment moments after the incident occurred. Crime Scene Technicians worked to collect evidence, which is now being processed.

Detectives interviewed the employee and he was ultimately booked into the Douglas County Correctional Facility and released while the investigation continues.

If you believe you are a potential victim in this investigation, please contact non-emergency dispatch at 785-843-0250 and reference incident L26022843 or ask to speak to a detective about the investigation involving Lawrence Thai Massage.

Tips can also be anonymously submitted to Crime Stoppers of Lawrence and Douglas County at 785.843.TIPS (8477).
