This is a very triggering post for me. Thanks to all of you who sent links. The Davidson County Jail doesn’t use a website for inmate information so I actually had to call to confirm that Tarek Mentouri is currently in jail. As of 1 a.m. he is currently incarcerated. I know a lot of women, myself included are breathing a lot easier. On Thursday a SWAT team arrived at his house with a warrant for over a multiple sexual assaults including felony rape. The last time the POS was arrested, last month he was simply charged with practicing massage therapy without a license even though numerous women reported sexual assaults by him.
According to reports by Jeremey Finley of Nashville News 4, Mentouri was arrested on Thursday after the Davidson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging him with eight counts of sexual battery, five counts of assault (offensive contact), two counts of harassment, rape and kidnapping involving nine adult females who had either gone to his home for a massage appointment or to apply for a job that he had posted for an assistant.

Clink! Clink!
Tarek Mentouri has been harrassing me for years over my reporting on his egregious behavior. My first knowledge of him was when he was the creepy stalker on an episode of Catfish. That was in 2005. He has basically harassed me ever since and is the reason I move my website offshore.
I hope he is locked up forever. But the Nashville PD has taken their sweet time getting around to arresting this guy. He is currently in prison on a $500,000 bond. Maybe his imaginary twin can bail him out. Did I mention his appearance on Dr. Phil? Or when he tried to fake his own death?
I hope this brings you some peace. That was scary when he kept trying to come for you. It’s like he thought if he could scare you and cause issues for your site you would stop warning women. Thank you for not caving and for doing all you could to warn of this “alleged” predator.
Love you Tamara!
Thanks Mel. He has been preying on women for 16 years now THAT I KNOW OF. And sadly a lot of women don’t move forward by going to the police. He is not mentally well. It’s quite scary. I will feel much better once he is sentenced.
I hope this is the end of his harassment of you. It’s sad that women don’t come forward, and there are reasons for that. You become the one judged.
I’m so glad to hear this news! It’s about time they got him off the streets. Disgusting POS.
I hope Tennessee buries him under the penitentiary. You can breathe easy now TT. NO way will he make that bond.
So HAPPY that your mind is finally at ease and you are safe. What wonderful news!
This is amazing news! And I think you had a hand in bringing him to justice, TT. I’m so proud of you for never backing down ♥️
Hope he remains incarcerated for a long time.
So happy to hear this TT I hope it makes you feel so much better 🥰
Wow, this kind of multiple case work all done at the same time means there were some DAs and cops dedicated to doing this right for a long time. In this context, slow is much more serious than just throwing together one or two sloppy cases.
I have no doubt that your voice meant a lot. You spoke for so many women. So many of us know a guy like this, and very few of us get an ending like this. I hope this brings you some peace, I know it has for women you have spoken for.
Hey Tamara, I live in a neighboring county and they actually do have a website to look for active inmates in Davidson County it’s just on the Sheriff’s website. Here it is: http://dcso.nashville.gov/
Thanks. I thought it was crazy I had to call a live person on a 24/7 but they were very helpful.
With all those charges hopefully he will incarcerated for a long time
I hope the owner of your previous hosting site sees this. He did not support you as his client like he should have
TT, people like this should be put before a firing squad. I hope he stays in jail and goes directly to prison. I hope this gives you a sense of relief…
I hope this brings you some peace, until he is put away for good.
Thank God! I hope that you’re able to find some peace now. He is a monster!
Thank goodness this predator is off the streets. Congratulations to you for helping to expose him! I hope this brings you a sense of safety that you couldn’t have before.

It’s amazing the number of people he manages to annoy, intimidate and harass in his spare time in between sexual assaults.
Isn’t he on bond from the massage license stuff? And he’s sending out shit like this on bond???
If I were that judge, I would not be happy to see stuff like this.
If I were the DA in charge of asking for his next bond, I would not want to see stuff like this, while he is already out on bond.

You can’t make this shit up. I wonder how many people he has been tormenting like this
I spoke to a local attorney a about a month ago upon receipt of the first email from and she said that he has done this to local businesses . Many settle just so not to go through the expense of legal .
Just to note for the record , My company is essentially just a couple of people and we make zero outbound soliciting calls . This is a scam that he is running .
Well hopefully you’re heard the last of him
He attacked my site to the point where I had to move the site offshore (The Netherlands) because every time I reported on what he was doing, he would file DMCA allegations against me. It’s hard to explain but essentially, my hosting site PAGELY was carried by Amazon and they just started doing takedowns on everything because it is easier for them and that goes through PAGELY who became irritated that I was a problem. Despite me paying them $500 a month to handle “problems”.
I have still heard from Tarek not to long ago. He was once again asking me to take things down. Like his address. He claimed that he was selling his house and didn’t want others to suffer or something. He was very apologetic. I did remove his phone number but the address was posted in comments by a former ally. So I left that up.
I’m not good with times but this was in the past few months. It’s annoying. I hope his body rots in prison and his soul rots in hell. That same said “ally ” and I thought friend basically told me I brought it on myself. What she doesn’t know is the amount of emails I’ve had to read from terrified victims of his assaults. I hope they all show up for his trial. I wish I could go myself but I don’t think my dog would be okay alone. in a hotel room even if I could find one that takes large dogs.
Also, I have had numerous contacts with women who are victims. I even got a envelope sent to my house listing the abuse. Numerous emails. Numerous women. I KNOW YOU ARE STILL OUT THERE. I KNOW YOU ARE STILL READING THIS.
Please, PLEASE stop this man. Anyone who may have been victimized by Mentouri is asked to contact the Metro Police Sex Crimes Unit at 615-862-7540. You can call anonymously. But make sure he is punished for what he did to you. Have a friend call if you must. But we are here to support you, to believe you and make sure he pays. You can also email me at tamaratattles.com and I will call for you. You deserve to be free of this experience and I am so sorry it happened to you.
I’ve mentioned this before in the years long conversation about this pervert. It was not Tarek but many, many years ago I went to a Massage Envy establishment for a massage. It was probably my second one ever. I had a male masseuse. He appeared to have an erection pressed up to me the entire time. I kept telling myself I was over reacting. I had booked or had been given I don’t remember because I don’t frequently get massages… I thought maybe I was wrong. I kept questioning myself. It was like a half day spa. There was supposed to be I dunno a tea and crumpets sort of thing and a steam room or something. But the massage thing came first. I left after the massage.
I told the front desk I was leaving and I have no idea what I said other than I didn’t say anything about the erection. I paid and bailed.
No one should have to go through that. It’s VERY degrading. I cried all the way home.
Sorry to hear this T., what a horrible experience…I’ve only had female masseuses and intend to stay that way…sending massive love to all the sisters and brothers who have been inappropriately touched or sexually assaulted, it’s our time now to step out of the shadows, share our stories, and expose perpetrators for who and what they are, perhaps in continuing to do so we can start to collectively heal.
I would also like to note here that I Stand With Palestine 🇵🇸 🙏🏽
The humiliation, massacres and crimes against humanity that Palestinians have had to endure for over 70 years is a stain on the conscience of the world.
Corrupt Western governments have used their power over the United Nations and other international institutions to conspire to protect Israel and to further their racist Zionist agenda.
Just as the good citizens of the world stood up against Apartheid in South Africa, there is the need for this generation to stand up and to make their voices heard against the murderous and oppressive Israeli apartheid regime that brutally suppresses Palestinian independence.
The Western mainstream media protects the butchers of Israel by denouncing anyone who criticises them as anti-Semitic – they will ruin your career, they will tarnish your reputation and they will attempt to silence your voice. Do not be cowed, intimidated or afraid of the system.
Stand up for what is right and support the Palestinian people’s fight against apartheid.
FREE PALESTINE!
We ARE the corrupt government supporting the crimes against humanity in Gaza and other illegally occupied areas. We are paying for this through out tax dollars. BOTH parties in this country are fully onboard with sending millions of dollars it Israel. Why do we allow this?
As are we in the UK…it’s so sad…I wish there was something we could do…😞
This guy is a POS. For those w trauma – you can heal. Triggers can be less.
I started reading this website on the heels of a post regarding the POs. It was when I realized how strong you are …. and why I want to post, click view etc.
Thank you for being strong and allowing other to know they are not alone
Tamara et al, There’s a YouTube channel called the behavior panel. They do crack expert behavior analysis on people (mostly criminals) like this. They have covered him before. But you TT might get some extra satisfaction listening to them succinctly put him in his place real time. (This was aired on Dr. Phil). BPanel put out a quick primer today on him. It’s quite satisfying.
These types live to menace people and this dude is a 24/7 menace to society. I’ll bet mommy has done some bad shite to him. We shall learn that perhaps later. Not that it’s an excuse. I hope he’s permanently detained.

Tamara, Have you contacted the Nashville PD to see if you can file a harassment case against him? We’ve been checking online to make sure he’s still in custody at http://dcso.nashville.gov/Search/Details/956421?searchType=Person
Hopefully he’ll be convicted and go to jail for a nice, long time. I hope you are able to heal from your trauma.
thanks. I haven’t but I can say he has cost me financial damage he a POS. But I would rather file against the hosting site, Pagely for being a dick during the whole process.
Could you do both? I would think successfully winning a case against him would make your case against largely stronger. No lawyer just a wannabe 🙂
Thanks for being strong and fighting the good fight against this utter piece of shit and full on waste of space. I’m a realtor and get quite a bit of BS I have to just let go and can relate to your massage story. Some Men are pigs and it’s high time we start calling them out on it! Screw the ramifications on their lives, they deserve whatever they get honestly. I’ve let too many get away with shit in the past and it’s helped to create a culture of entitlement amongst them. This story should be prime time.
The good news is he has been in jail for a week now. And it appears that his bond is $500,000 FOR EACH FELONY ASSAULT. So I doubt he is going anywhere anytime soon. I don’t want to be entangled with anything to do with him. But I would shot him dead as a door nail if he showed up on my property. IJS. I also secretly hope that some boyfriend, husband, brother handles the situation if he ever gets out.
He’s trying to extort me lol over a cold call law violation, because his personal cell phone number was listed as his (now defunct) business 🙂
Didn’t expect to find all of this when I googled who was threatening me.
