Police say that during the massage session, Hurwitz made sexual comments and inappropriate sexual motions.  He implied to the victim that her tip would be greater if she performed sexual acts.  The victim also noted that Hurwitz had left a roll of cash laying on the floor in plain view in the massage room.  Twice during the interaction, Hurwitz asked the victim if she would consider coming to his home and providing a massage.  The victim declined.  The victim ended the massage early due to Hurwitz’ increasing inappropriate sexual behavior.

Later that day, Police say that Hurwitz texted the victim’s business phone.  He texted and called her the next day (August 16), asking if she would come to his home.  In a text conversation and a phone call between the victim and Hurwitz, during which Vice and Intelligence Unit detectives were present with the victim, Hurwitz agreed to pay cash in exchange for the victim performing sexual favors.  In a follow-up text conversation, Hurwitz said that he would come to the business on August 21.
