A massage therapist from Brandon already accused of sexually assaulting two people has been hit with further charges after more former clients have come forward with allegations.
The 54-year-old man was first arrested Nov. 28 after a woman told police he made inappropriate sexual comments while touching her in a sexual manner during a massage on Oct. 30.
A second woman reported a similar experience with the massage therapist in the fall of 2018.
Since the man’s arrest, police say six more women have come forward to investigators independently with similar allegations dating between February and August 2019.
