A Seattle attorney, Danford Grant, has been arrested and charged with the raping a Bellevue masseuse at knife point and is being held in the King County Jail. Bail has been set at $3 million.
Grant, 47, is charged with first-degree rape of an employee of a Bellevue massage business and five other alleged rapes of employees of massage businesses elsewhere in King County.
In the Bellevue incident, Bellevue Police say the man made several sexual advances toward the masseuse, which she was not receptive to. After she declined advances, he pulled a knife and allegedly sexually assaulted the woman.
Grant is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 11.
