Fourth woman alleges sexual assault by unlicensed Twin Cities massage therapist

A fourth woman has come forward to allege being sexually assaulted by an unlicensed Eagan massage therapist.

Johnny Le, 32, of Richfield was charged Friday in Dakota County District Court with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with an assault on Nov. 29, 2023, at JLe Massage Therapy in the 4600 block of Nicols Road in Eagan.

Le was charged by warrant and is due in court on April 23. Messages left for Le and his attorney have not been returned.

His newest accuser went to police a week ago after seeing media coverage about the earlier allegations. She said Le touched her genitalia and offered to do in-home massages for $400.

City spokeswoman Sara Horwath said Le was issued a license in February 2024 and did not renew it upon its expiration on June 30.

According to the previous criminal complaints:

On Feb. 11, a woman contacted police and said Le groped her and tried to force her to touch him sexually. Le apologized when the appointment was over and said “he was sorry that he crossed a line,” the complaint read. He also explained how she could get a refund.

On Dec. 20, a woman went to police and alleged that Le sexually assaulted her. The assault involved various sex acts and included intercourse twice. The woman left, called her boyfriend and then police.

A DNA sample was collected from the woman during a sexual assault exam. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the sample was a match with Le.

On May 6, a woman told police that Le sexually assaulted her two days earlier. She said Le “touched her inappropriately [during] a full body massage.”

After the woman left, she sent Le a text saying what he did was wrong. He replied that “it was very unprofessional” and apologized, the complaint said.
