A massage therapist in Surrey, B.C. has been charged with sexual assault after an appointment with a client last month.
A woman said she was sexually assaulted after receiving treatment from Gudbjartur Bodhi Haraldsson on Nov. 14 at a clinic in the 13700-block of 96th Avenue in Surrey.
“Surrey RCMP Special Victims Unit assumed conduct of the investigation due to the sensitive nature of the allegations,” Mounties wrote in a Thursday news release.
Haraldsson denies the allegation, maintains his innocence and “looks forward to his day in court,” his lawyer, Kevin Westell, told Global News by email.
“Mr. Haraldsson has become the subject of a false and unproven allegation that he acted inappropriately in relation to a patient,” said Westell.
