TEMECULA - A masseur is suspected of rubbing a female client the wrong way in Temecula when he allegedly touched her inappropriately and was arrested, authorities said today.

Sheriff's deputies received a call shortly after 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15 and went to the Massage Green Spa at 31950 Temecula Parkway, Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Kelly McDonald said.

Deputies were told that a female patron was getting a massage when the masseur allegedly touched her several times in a sexual manner, McDonald said.

Evan Michael Darrow, 34, of Homeland, was arrested and booked for suspicion of misdemeanor sexual battery. He was released from jail Saturday after posting $3,500 bail, according to online jail records.

I don't know what he did several times. Did she say anything after the first time?
This could be hard to prove, in less she said something after the first wrong touch.
I'm sorry for both people involved. The truth hopefuly will tell. It's hard to know the truth yet. No details were given about what was touched.

Do you really want to know exactly what was touched? I think that is very personal and I hope the victim doesnt have to go through reliving the experience, obviously she felt what happened was wrong.

Sorry, # 2. I'm a old lady, I don't need to know what what touched. My point was only to mean the fact is massage can be very hands on. If she said not there, then that would set the rule. Otherwise, a full massage can seem a bit much for many people. Even a persons fanny/ hip area. for low back pain. Some spots are always a no no, but it didn't say. that's all I ment.

I thought it was very Odd as well. I'm a male in my mid-20s and never have found massages attractive because of all the contact from a stranger. And I am no prude trust me I am married with two kids. I love myvalleynews, but found this article a little pointless considering all it did was throw the business and person under the bus. I found the bail being so low a sign that it wasn't so aggressive. which brings up the question of what lines are there with massages. I thought it was odd that a male did it to a female rather then playing it safe and having another female. I am not blaming the victim or excusing her pain. Just was confused by what could have happens considering massages are so personal anyways. Also for those that live in Temecula have any of you noticed how many of these massage places there are, literally more then Starbucks and McDonald's combined, they keep popping up everywhere.

Thank you #4. I was starting to question my ability to share my thoughts.
I ment no harm, nor did I want to assume what happened in any direction. The courts will do there best to sourt it all out.
Ive had many deep painful massages to re open rips that healed wrong, you cry in pain. but, it re heals corectly. They can get a bad wrap, I myself find mine through a chiropractor. They are good and skilled,you get what you pay for. (healthy)
