A massage therapist has been arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting two of his clients.
On Nov. 1, a woman reported to police that she was receiving a massage a few days prior when the therapist made inappropriate sexual comments while touching her in a sexual manner.
A second woman also came forward to report a similar incident that occurred in the fall of 2018 with the same massage therapist.
An investigation into the two reports led police to arrest a 54-year-old man on Thursday for two counts of sexual assault.
Police would not release the name of the business at which the therapist worked through, however BPS spokesperson Sgt. Kirby Sararas advised he was an independent contractor and has since taken a leave of absence.
The man is scheduled to appear in court in January.
