Скачать или смотреть Woman files class action lawsuit against Nordik Spa alleging sexual assault Final

A woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Nordik Spa in Chelsea, Que. on behalf of victims of sexual assault at the popular resort.

The claim comes following a visit to the spa on Dec. 2, 2024, during which the plaintiff alleges she was sexually assaulted by a male massage therapist.

Lambert Avocats, the law firm representing the class action says Nordik Spa did not take the necessary measures to prevent or put an end to sexual abuse committed at its institution, and that it was therefore liable.


The class action includes anyone who was sexually assaulted during a massage at Nordik Spa Village Chelsea.

The class action, which was filed Aug. 13 in Montreal, is awaiting authorization by a judge, Lambert Avocats says. The suit notes that there have been previous reports of sexual assault at the spa involving massage therapists, including at least one that led to a conviction and a six-month prison sentence in 2021.

Following charges against a massage therapist at Spa Nordik in 2023, a general manager for the spa told CTV News Ottawa that all subcontractors who provide massage therapy services must provide criminal record checks and proof of certification annually.
