A lawsuit filed by a Tennessee woman alleges that MGM Resorts International and other MGM-related entities were negligent and failed to protect her from a spa employee who sexually assaulted her during a massage at an MGM Grand spa in 2024.
The woman alleged in a complaint, filed Friday in District Court, that she was visiting the MGM Grand spa Sept. 7, 2024, when she was sexually assaulted by massage therapist Steven Thomas during a massage appointment scheduled by her husband.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal typically does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.
The woman said she had visited the spa during previous stays and had received massages from Thomas without incident.
