More charges have been laid in a sexual assault investigation tied to a St. Catharines massage therapist who worked at a pair of clinics in Niagara Region, according to police.

Detectives assigned to the case say the suspect is facing three additional counts of sexual assault following complaints from a second person who attended massage therapy sessions at locations in Niagara Falls and Thorold, Ont.

“Incidents involving the second complainant occurred at two locations, a registered massage clinic and wellness centre, located in the area of Dunn Street and Drummond Road, and a registered massage clinic, located in the area of Merrittville Highway and Decew Road,” investigators said in a release on Friday.
