A Montreal law firm is seeking authorization to launch a class action lawsuit against a well-known spa in Chelsea, Que., after more than 20 women came forward with allegations of sexual assault involving massage therapists at the facility.
According to the firm, the application — filed last week in Quebec Superior Court — was initiated on behalf of a woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by a male massage therapist during a session at Nordik Spa-Nature in late 2024.
The woman, who has not been publicly identified, said she visited the spa with a friend and alleges the assault occurred while she was receiving treatment alone.
“She contacted us to obtain reparation — to repair the damages she suffered as a result of the abuse,” said lawyer Philippe Brault with Lambert Avocats,
