State Suspends Bellevue Massage Therapist Following Allegations of Sexual Assault
The Washington State Department of Health has immediately suspended the license of a King County massage therapist following allegations that he sexually assaulted four clients.
On February 6, 2026, Health Law Judge Angela Kennedy issued an Ex Parte Order of Summary Action against Jason Senat, who had been providing services at Pacific Northwest Massage and Body Restoration in Bellevue, Washington.
The order immediately suspended Senat’s massage therapy credential, citing an “immediate threat to the public health and safety if Respondent has an unrestricted credential.”
A Pattern of Abuse
According to the Statement of Charges filed by the state’s Massage Therapy Program, Senat allegedly engaged in severe sexual misconduct with four separate patients—identified in court documents as Patients A through D—between 2024 and 2025.
The charging document details a disturbing escalation of boundary violations. The Department of Health alleges that during various massage sessions, Senat removed patients’ draping without consent, pressed his erect penis against their bodies, and inappropriately fondled their breasts and genitalia.
In one specific incident on September 30, 2025, the state alleges that Senat kissed a client identified as “Patient D,” attempted digital penetration, and ejaculated on her body at the conclusion of the massage without her consent.
Immediate Danger to the Public
In the summary suspension order, Judge Kennedy noted that the allegations represent an “egregious pattern of sexual misconduct” that directly impacts Senat’s ability to practice safely.
The order emphasized the inherent risks of the profession, stating, “Patients of massage practitioners are especially vulnerable due to the nature of the practice. Based on the Respondent’s alleged conduct, there appears to be a serious breach of the patients’ trust in this case.”
Senat, whose license to practice massage therapy was first issued on June 10, 2024, is formally charged with unprofessional conduct and multiple violations of the Washington Administrative Code and the Revised Code of Washington. The listed violations include strict prohibitions against sexual misconduct and touching sexualized body parts outside the scope of accepted community standards.
Senat has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges. Until the matter is resolved, he is strictly prohibited from practicing as a massage therapist in the state of Washington to protect patient safety.
