ENGLEWOOD — An arrest warrant has been issued for a massage therapist who is accused of sexually touching two women while performing massages at an Englewood business, according to court records.
Jared Colvin, 22, of New Madison, faces a sexual imposition charge in two separate cases. Both charges are misdemeanors.

The first case stems from accusations made by a 20-year-old female client last November, who told police Colvin used his hand “too high on her inner thigh and his hand brushed up against her" female private area, according to court records.
“She said at first she thought it was just a mistake, but then he continued rubbing,” court documents read. “She said once she realized what he was doing, she froze and didn’t say anything to him. She said it lasted for several minutes.”
The second case was reported to police by a 36-year-old woman on June 4 after she said she was also touched inappropriately.
The 36-year-old accused Colvin of sliding his hands down her body and rubbing her breast, public records read. She also said he touched her privates “several times.”
The woman also said Colvin kissed her and put his tongue in her mouth. When he was interviewed by police, Colvin denied kissing the woman and said the woman pulled the blanket down exposing her breast.
“He alleges he reached down and pulled the blanket back up," a Englewood police detective wrote in a report.
Colvin was employed at the Englewood massage parlor Karmel’s Day Spa on North Main Street, however the manager said he fired Colvin following the second case when News Center 7 spoke to him Monday. Police had previously urged the owner to suspend Colvin temporarily following the 2019 case until the investigation was completed.
Dwayne Edwards, the day spa’s manager, told News Center 7 Tuesday that he suspended Colvin for five weeks following the initial 2019 incident, but allowed him to return to work after taking an independent polygraph test.
“Karmel’s has worked very hard over its eleven years serving our community,” Edwards said in a prepared statement. “We are committed to continuing the highest standards while protecting and serving our guests in the tranquil environment they are accustomed to.”
Colvin’s massage therapist license through the Ohio Medical Board is still listed as active, online records show.
Both cases are pending in Vandalia Municipal Court and Colvin is supposed to be back in court on the 2019 case later this week.
