Police Charge Southwest Portland Massage Therapist With Sex Abuse
Friday, March 11, 2016
Benjamin Thomas Collura
The Investigation
The investigation began in late February 2016 after Portland Police were contacted by a 31-year-old female who reported that she'd received a massage at the River's Edge Hotel & Spa. She proceeded to tell police that her therapist sexually abused her during the massage.
During the investigation, detectives learned that Collura previously worked at two Massage Envy locations between 2010 and 2013. Detectives believe there may be other victims that have not reported the abuse to police.
Police asking for help
Portland police are asking anyone with information on Collura or anyone who was a victim of his abuse to contact Detective Jeff Myers.
The Portland Police Bureau collaborates with government agencies and community organizations that provide access to advocacy services to victims of sexual assaults.
