A massage therapist is accused of sexually assaulting a client several times during treatments in Ajax.
Durham Regional Police say an investigation into the man, who worked as a massage therapist at a physiotherapy business in the area of Harwood Ave. S. and Emperor St., was launched on Oct. 2.
A female client contacted police alleging she was sexually assaulted on “several occasions” while receiving treatment, Const. Nicholas Gluckstein said in a statement released Friday.
A suspect was subsequently identified and he was arrested on Thursday.
Nicholas M Luck, 50, of Whitby, is charged with three counts of sexual assault.
Gluckstein said the accused has since been released from custody on an undertaking.
Out of concern for the possibility of other alleged victims, investigators have released a photo of the accused.
Anyone with information about this or similar alleged incidents is urged to call police at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2531 or 2272, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
