Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying potential additional victims in a sexual case involving a massage therapist in the Los Angeles area.

In March, detectives began investigating the sexual assault of a female adult at her residence in Santa Clarita.  The victim initially met the suspect at the G Train Fitness Gym located in North Hollywood, where the suspect treated the victim for pain. After several massage therapy sessions at the gym, the suspect suggested to the victim that he conduct future therapy sessions at either his residence or hers, which would give the victim privacy that the gym setting could not provide. The victim agreed, as the suspect had been acting appropriately during all of the previous sessions at the gym.

On March 12, the suspect arrived at the victim’s residence in Santa Clarita for a scheduled massage therapy appointment.  As this therapy session evolved, the suspect sexually assaulted the victim.

The investigation was presented to the District Attorney’s office who filed one felony count of Sexual Penetration by False Representation against the suspect.  The suspect was arrested by the Sheriff’s Department on Aug. 23.

Detectives believe it is possible that other women have been sexually assaulted during massage therapy sessions with the suspect.

Anyone who may have additional information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau at (877) 710-5273.
