Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) has opened an investigation into allegations that its late founder sexually harassed multiple massage therapists who worked at two day spas he co-owned.
Three women who worked at the businesses, located in the Atlanta suburbs, told Christianity Today (CT) that Ravi Zacharias touched them inappropriately, exposed himself, and masturbated during regular treatments over a period of about five years. His business partner said he regrets not stopping Zacharias and sent an apology text to one of the victims.
RZIM denies the claims, saying in a statement to CT that the charges of sexual misconduct ‘do not in any way comport with the man we knew for decades’. The organisation has hired a law firm ‘with experience investigating such matters’ to look into the allegations, which date back at least ten years.
