Michelle Silberstein says has been unable to return her job as a licensed massage therapist and esthetician at the Na Ho'ola Spa in the Hyatt Regency Waikiki since she was sexually assaulted in August 2014 by Hassan Maan Melhem, an interpreter for a Saudi prince.

Melhem later pleaded no contest to fourth-degree sexual assault and was given a deferred sentence and probation.
