San Jose Masseur Arrested As Suspect in Sexual Assault at Palo Alto Spa
PALO ALTO (CBS SF) -- A San Jose man was arrested Friday on suspicion of sex crimes committed in August at a Palo Alto day spa and police believe there may be other victims.
The investigation stems from a sexual assault report made Aug. 23 by a woman who had been at the Body Kneads Day Spa at 810 San Antonio Road, where she had been earlier that evening.
She said the masseur "rubbed her private area and sexually assaulted her twice," and continued to touch her in a sexual manner despite being told twice to stop, police said in a release.
An investigation was quickly launched with cooperation from management of the spa, which also terminated the employment of masseur Gang Wang, age 46.
Detectives found evidence linking Wang to the sexual assault claim and a warrant was issued Friday charging Wang with felony sexual penetration by force and felony oral copulation by force. He was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail
Police note that Wang, who went by the name "Adam" at the spa, came into physical contact with many clients and believe there may be other victims.
