Winnipeg police have arrested a massage therapist following a sexual assault investigation that began in May.

On May 19, police say they began investigating after a woman reported being sexually assaulted during a massage therapy appointment.

Police say a woman in her 50s went to a business in the 700 block of Crescent Drive on May 16, where she received a massage from a licensed massage therapist.

During the session, she told police, her body was touched in an unwanted and sexual manner.
