MASSAGE THERAPIST ARRESTED FOR SEXUAL BATTERY

Beginning on 12-23-20, the Escondido Police Department began investigating an allegation of sexual battery involving Patrick Graham Stone (DOB 06/12/1984), who operates a massage therapy business in Escondido. A female victim reported to the police that Mr. Stone had inappropriately touched her in a sexual manner during a massage she received from him at his business, Stone Medical Group, at 1299 E. Pennsylvania Ave Ste. A in Escondido.

On January 6, 2021 a second female victim reported being inappropriately touched by Mr. Stone in a similar manner while getting a massage. On January 7, 2021, detectives from the Escondido Police Department conducted an undercover sting operation where Mr. Stone inappropriately touched a female detective and was subsequently arrested for multiple sexual battery charges stemming from the three incidents. He will be booked into the Vista Detention Facility on the sexual battery charges.
