OLYMPIA — State health officials have suspended the license of a massage therapist charged with raping a client in eastern Washington.
Washington state Department of Health officials said in a news release Tuesday they have suspended the license of Gregory Dean Pritchett.
Pritchett has been charged in Stevens County Superior Court with second-degree rape of a woman during a massage in April in Kettle Falls, about 80 miles north of Spokane.
State records show Pritchett has held a massage license since 2011. He has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges and cannot practice massage therapy until the charges are resolved.
