A former Chattanooga Massage Envy employee was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail for secretly recording at least 20 clients, according to court records.
Kenneth Spears pleaded guilty to 2o counts of taking unlawful photographs, as part of an agreement with state prosecutors, according to his attorney, Bryan Hoss.
Spears, 44, admitted to recording clients inside private massage rooms at the Hamilton Place location. Investigators identified 88 victims, but many of them wanted to remain anonymous, Hoss said by phone.
He was sentenced Monday to six years of supervised probation and sex offender registration in addition to his jail term.
There’s “been fallout kind of all over the place unfortunately” in connection with Spears’ crimes, but the fact he is serving time will hopefully close this chapter and allow everyone involved to move forward, Hoss said.
