Massage Therapist Accused of Crimes | Panama City Beach News

Seventy-year-old massage therapist Blaine Searcy is under investigation after 30+ victims came forward with allegations of inappropriate touching and sexual misconduct during sessions. Authorities believe 5-10 cases may involve criminal behavior, including battery and false licensing claims. One shocking incident involved Searcy allegedly undressing and pressing his naked body against a client — leading to a permanent license suspension — yet the Florida Department of Health failed to report it to law enforcement, delaying action. The Sheriff’s Office is now working to build charges for that case. Officials urge everyone to verify therapist credentials and speak up if uncomfortable.
