Woman touched inappropriately at spa by unlicensed massage therapist, she says

An Atlanta woman is warning others after she says she was touched inappropriately during a massage.

The man accused doesn’t have a license, and it not the first time he has been under investigation.

“I want him to be arrested. And I don’t want nothing else to happen to nobody else,” Tierra Veney told Channel 2’s Candace McCowan.

What happened at Bounce and Relax Spa on Briarcliff Road is still hard for her to talk about.

“He started off with my back. It was different instances where I was kind of questioning if he was getting too close to my private area,” she said.

She said he then took the sheet down, exposing her, then massaged her chest. She froze.

“He pulled up Google Translate and then he typed in, ‘Don’t tell the boss. The boss will be mad,’” Veney said.

Veney called police immediately. In their report, investigators say the accused therapist denied the allegations.

The same man, Chunlei Wang, was charged in Cobb County in April 2025 for practice of massage therapy without a license.

“These owners, they know better. Instead, they are putting the profit of just having somebody fill a slot over the safety of the people in the public,” said Veney’s attorney Mawuli Davis.

I called Bounce and Relax Spa Wednesday. A manger told me Wang only worked at the spa that one day, was only supposed to do foot massages and they were in the process of checking his license. When I told her it takes just seconds to check a license, she hung up the phone.

Brookhaven police say they are still investigating. Wang has not been charged in the Brookhaven case.

 In the Cobb County case,  “they put out a warrant the same day. They didn’t do that for me at all,” said Veney in tears.

Veney’s attorney saying they’ve made sure Brookhaven knew of Wang’s previous arrest.
