Washington, D.C. – Senate Hopeful Cheri Beasley’s record for fighting for victims is an embarrassment to say the least. During her time as a judge and a lawyer, Beasley has advocated for criminals and shown her soft-on-crime positions. Her past just proves North Carolina families can’t trust Beasley to fight and protect them. Specifically, she defended a chain of massage parlors accused of sexual assault by over 180 women!

Washington Examiner: NRSC hits Cheri Beasley for law firm’s ties to Massage Envy
Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is hitting Cheri Beasley, North Carolina’s Democratic Senate nominee, for her former law firm’s work on behalf of the Massage Envy chain as it faced allegations that some of its therapists sexually assaulted their clients.
….
Beasley is listed as counsel for Massage Envy in an appeal on one of the cases dated March 5, 2021, as part of the firm. She withdrew as counsel on Aug. 31 of the same year, court documents show. The work is disclosed on her financial disclosure report, listing Massage Envy Franchising as a McGuireWoods client, saying the work was to assist on an appeal of a procedural ruling.
More than 100 women have accused therapists at Massage Envy locations across the country of sexual assault. Many of those cases ended up in litigation.

NRSC spokesman T.W. Arrighi said in a statement, “The more you dig into Cheri Beasley’s past as a judge and a lawyer, the more and more concerning it becomes.”
“Massage Envy stood accused of awful instances of sexual assault and Cheri Beasley still took them on as a client,” Arrighi said. “North Carolinians have no patience for politicians who say one thing but do another, especially when it comes to protecting victims.”
