Man Accused of Abuse During Massages in Homewood May Have Worked at Spa for Months After Assault, Lawyers Say
Senior Counsel Blake Milner and Counsel Maya Hoyt of Singleton Schreiber LLP were featured in a WBRC report on the firm's lawsuit against Escape Day Spa in Homewood, Alabama. The report covers new developments in the case, including evidence suggesting the accused former employee may have continued working at the spa for months after the alleged assault.
According to the report, attorneys say their client reported the incident to the spa's owner the same day it occurred in July 2025, and information gathered by the firm suggests the accused, Matthew Jones, may have remained employed at the spa as recently as June. The report also notes multiple arrest warrants have now been filed involving separate individuals.
"Multiple arrest warrants with multiple individuals that were traumatized by this man really confirms our nightmare and our suspicion that the business itself wasn't taking its job seriously and making sure people were safe," said Milner.
The lawsuit also alleges Jones's massage license had expired and that the spa continued to allow him to work.
"This is a business that failed to train and supervise their employees. They are tasked as a business to make sure employees are licensed, and it shows a pattern of a business who does not check on their employees to make sure they serve their customers well," said Hoyt.
