“Your face, your smile, your laugh, your touch, the way you love, your hard work, your heart, your care for me, your skill, and on and on and on.” He called her “beautiful in heart and in body.” She responded later: “I love you and kiss you everywhere xxxxxx.”
...However, the photographs grew increasingly more suggestive, culminating in two photographs showing her bare breasts dated October 27, 2018, and a video of her fully naked and touching herself dated January 8, 2019. Two other women told us that Mr. Zacharias asked for nude photographs, which they refused to provide.
...Mr. Zacharias is not listed on incorporation documents filed with the Georgia Secretary of State for either company, and he did not appear to have any role in managing the day-to-day operations of the spas. He told one massage therapist he was a silent investor in both spas,5 and one of the owners of Jivan Wellness told us that Mr. Zacharias invested as well, but we were not able to confirm how much if any money he invested. We understand, however, that Mr. Zacharias was involved in the concept and opening of Jivan Wellness. He had an interest in Eastern treatment and wanted to bring that influence to the spa, including designing a treatment room specifically for Ayurvedic massage. Multiple witnesses told us that he arranged for massage therapists he met in Asia to train the Jivan Wellness staff in those techniques, and one told us that he tried to recruit her from Thailand to work at the spa.
He had a Jivan Wellness email address, and he stored the Employer Identification Number (EIN) in his phone. Mr. Zacharias told at least one witness that he intended for Jivan Wellness to support RZIM’s philanthropic ministry, Wellspring International, and there are notes on one of his electronic devices that are consistent with that plan. Another witness had a vague recollection that this was the initial plan as well. We did not have access to Jivan Wellness’s financial records, though, so we do not know whether Jivan Wellness ever provided financial support to Wellspring.
...He further claimed,“In my 45 years of marriage to Margie, I have never engaged in any inappropriate behavior of any kind.” Much of the inappropriate massage therapy behavior discussed above occurred prior to the Thompson matter, and Mr. Zacharias’s lengthy text and email communication with the massage therapist from Bangkok whose culinary schooling he arranged for through RZIM and whom he called the “love of his life” occurred in 2014. His claim that he had long made it his practice “not to be alone with a woman other than Margie and our daughters” was similarly false. As reported above, Mr. Zacharias’s inappropriate conduct often occurred when he was alone with massage therapists. Because his need for massage treatments was well known and accepted, he was able to hide his misconduct in plain sight. He further stated that, after reflection, he learned that the “physical safeguards” he had “long practiced to protect my integrity should have extended to include digital communications safeguards.” As the architect of those “physical safeguards,” Mr. Zacharias well knew how to elude them.
...Our investigation was limited to Mr. Zacharias’s sexual misconduct,
and even as to that issue it was not exhaustive. We acknowledge that we have not spoken to all individuals who may have relevant information to provide. We strived to balance the need for completeness with the need for expediency, and
we are confident that we uncovered sufficient evidence to conclude that Mr. Zacharias engaged in sexual misconduct.Keep in mind this report commissioned by RZIM is rather shallow and with more digging, more will be uncovered which is why most people interviewed "lawyered up".
With that said, the report concluded that RZIM is in big trouble due to Ravi and his ministry trying to coverup his tracks.
