On February 29, 2024, a Lancaster jury awarded more than $10 million to ten former customers of a popular Lancaster holistic health spa who claimed massage therapist Matthew Schaitel sexually abused them during visits between 2019 and 2021.

The verdict included more than $5 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, plus attorney fees and certain out of pocket costs.
