What a fucking pussy.

A candidate for the state legislature in Oregon is suing a
massage parlor and its owner, after a massage that allegedly
included having his genitals groped.

Democrat Anthony Medina, who is the current chair of the
Woodburn School Board, is seeking $450,000 in damages from
Woodburn Spa and owner Fuxiu Zhen.

"Plaintiff immediately told the masseuse that he did not want to
be touched in that manner," the complaint says, according to
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). "The masseuse then briefly
massaged Plaintiff’s feet for 10 seconds and then terminated the
massage at roughly 20 minutes at which Medina [promptly] left."

Medina’s claims include battery for the unwanted touching, as
well as allegations of "human trafficking, indentured servitude,
prostitution and other criminal activities," according to the
Oregon Capital Chronicle, in addition to negligently hiring
unlicensed massage therapists and failing to properly train
employees regarding illegal touching. The complaint also states
that neither Zhen nor a second masseuse have massage therapist
licenses in the state of Oregon, although Zhen is reportedly
licensed in California.

Zhen is also listed as the owner of Portland’s Iris Massage and
the Angels Touch Massage in Eugene, Ore., and Medina’s lawsuit
lists both among the defendants.

In a report to Woodburn police, Medina reportedly claimed that
he went to the Woodburn Spa in February when he could not get an
appointment with his chiropractor. He claimed that the massage
table looked like a bed, and that he was given a towel instead
of a sheet to cover himself.

Following the incident, he went home and told his wife, then
called police. He later spoke to the Capital Chronicle, saying
that the experience brought up past trauma from his childhood.

"I was the victim of sexual assault when I was 10 years old,
and, during this experience with the masseuse, I froze and
became that 10-year-old all over again," he told the outlet.
"Unfortunately, I had to relive this trauma all over again."

He added that incidents like this "can be difficult things to
talk about, but we all have a responsibility to act, whether you
are a victim or are aware of any possibility that human
trafficking and exploitation might be happening in our
community."

Following Medina’s report, Woodburn Mayor Eric Swenson claimed
he had a similar experience at the same establishment.

Records show Medina filed the complaint on Thursday in Marion
County Circuit Court, but they had yet to show that papers had
been served on the defendants. The lawsuit comes about a month
after Medina reported the incident to local police. Marion
County District Attorney Paige Clarkson opted not to pursue
charges against the spa or masseuse, the Capital Chronicle
reported.

"They’re operating with impunity," Medina’s attorney Sean
Riddell told OPB. "My client’s desire is to shut down these
businesses."

Lots of queer Democrats in Oregon.
