Hall County Solicitor General Inez Grant said Michael Steven Reeves, age 39 of Clermont, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual battery. Reeves was accused of inappropriately touching customers of the Gainesville business.

Grant said Reeves was sentenced to 48 months on probation, along with fines and 30 days of house arrest. He has also been barred from practicing any physical therapy or massage therapy in Hall County.

"He was never licensed, so he shouldn't have been doing it in the first place," Grant told AccessWDUN Monday afternoon.
