FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 Fort Lauderdale arrested a 55-year-old man on Friday after accusing him of sexually assaulting a massage therapist at a spa in August.<\/p>\n
An arrest warrant from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department states that Matthew Robert Nagle, a resident of the city\u2019s Seven Isles neighborhood, visited the unnamed spa on the afternoon of Aug. 14, having \u201ccalled the facility earlier in the day to reserve an unlicensed massage treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigators said as the 20-year-old masseuse began treating Nagle, he began masturbating. The warrant states she \u201cbecame very uncomfortable; however, she continued with the treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said Nagle then \u201csuddenly grabbed one of her hands\u201d and she pulled away. According to the warrant, he eventually sat up on the massage table, reached down her shirt, took her shirt and bra off and began kissing the victim\u2019s breasts and lips.<\/p>\n
The victim told him, \u201cBro, what the f—? You are a stranger,\u201d according to police. But authorities said Nagle did not stop and \u201cthrew her onto the massage table, forcing her to (lie) on her back as he got on top of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said when the victim told Nagle no, he replied, \u201cNo, it\u2019s OK, you\u2019re hot\u201d and \u201caggressively\u201d ripped her pants and underwear off and performed sex acts on her as she tried to move her body away.<\/p>\n
Detectives said he eventually forced her to masturbate him and after the assault, gave her $150 and said, \u201cThat was fun. Did you have fun?\u201d <\/p>\n
According to the warrant, the victim \u201cthen ran out of the room to the bathroom where she later told a co-worker about the assault.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authorities said she reported what happened to FLPD later that day and received a sexual assault examination.<\/p>\n
Police said they went to Nagle\u2019s home to speak with him and he \u201cdenied any sexual activity or any wrongdoing.\u201d<\/p>\n
But investigators said Nagle\u2019s DNA came back on several samples, including from the victim\u2019s breasts and pants, which police said \u201ccorroborates\u201d the victim\u2019s account and \u201cdisproves\u201d his denial.<\/p>\n
Nagle, after turning himself in at FLPD headquarters on Friday, was booked into the Broward County jail on two sexual battery charges and a judge later found probable cause to charge him, ordering him to stay away from the accuser and the spa and to surrender his passport.<\/p>\n
Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office records show he was released from jail on a $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n
