Sarasota Masseur Charged With Battery For Third Time


Sarasota, Fla. (970 WFLA)- 44 year old Ruslan Grushco, turned himself into the Sarasota County Jail Tuesday.  He's charged with battery,  following inappropriate conduct with massage clients. 

A warrant was issued for Grushco Thursday, after a third victim came forward after seeing  news reports about the arrest of Grushco in early February.  The latest  victim told Detectives that Grushco touched her inappropriately during a massage appointment booked through the online app ‘Thumbtack’ in January 2018.

Grushco now has a total of three charges for battery and is currently being held at the Sarasota County Jail.
