Former KU athletics massage therapist found guilty of sex crimes with athletes, child

Shawn O’Brien, a former University of Kansas athletics massage therapist, has been found guilty at trial of sex crimes involving student athletes and a minor child.

O’Brien, of Lawrence, was convicted Thursday with three felonies of aggravated indecent liberties with a child plus five misdemeanors of sexual battery. O’Brien was accused of touching a girl under 14 years old in his home and also inappropriately touching his massage clients at his place of business while working for the women’s soccer team, prosecutors said.

Douglas County District Attorney Suzanne Valdez said in a statement Thursday that O’Brien used his position to “gain access to victims.”

“Girls and women deserve to feel safe when turning to a practitioner for help, and this office will prosecute accordingly,” Valdez said.
