SOUTH JORDAN — A South Jordan massage therapist already facing charges of sexually abusing a client is now accused of abusing a second woman.

Scott Keele Morrison, 51, was charged Wednesday in 3rd District Court with forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.

In March 2023, a woman scheduled a massage with Morrison. During the massage, Morrison inappropriately touched the woman, the charges state, according to charging documents. She "tried to pull the sheet up to cover (herself) multiple times, but Morrison would put the sheet back down," the charges state.

Wednesday's charges come on the heels of similar accusations that were filed in December when Morrison was charged in 3rd District Court with three counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony. In that case, a second woman says she was also inappropriately touched several times while receiving a massage from Morrison, according to charging documents.

A trial in that case has been scheduled and rescheduled multiple times. The next court hearing on those charges is scheduled for Oct. 29.

Police investigating that case learned of several prior complaints against Morrison through the Utah Department of Professional Licensing dating back to 2007. His license was suspended at that time but reinstated in April 2011, charging documents state.
