An employee at a Gainesville massage and spa business was charged with sexual battery after clients accused him of inappropriate touching.
Hall County deputies arrested 36-year-old Michael Steven Reeves, Jr., on Thursday, March 10, after the alleged victims met with Hall County Sheriff’s investigators. They told investigators that Reeves touched them in intimate areas of their bodies during massages. Both victims said the touching was unwanted and uninvited, the sheriff’s office says.
The reported incidents occurred between February 26, 2022, and March 5, 2022, at the business located in the 100 block of Washington Street. The sheriff’s office is not releasing the name of the spa because, according to HCSO 1st Lt. Chris Dale, “the business has not been charged with any violations.”
Investigators charged Reeves with three counts of sexual battery. He also was charged with possession of methamphetamine and amphetamine. As of Friday afternoon, Reeves remained in the Hall County Jail on a $3,700 bond.
The case remains under investigation. The sheriff’s office asks anyone with additional information to contact Investigator Phillips at 770-536-5206.
