Massage Therapist Charged with Rape After Eight Women Allege Assaults

A 58-year-old male massage therapist from Diamond Valley, Queensland, has been charged with multiple sexual offences after eight women alleged they were sexually assaulted by him during massage sessions. Police say the man offered his services to the women on separate occasions between January 2022 and December 2025.

Following a search warrant executed at his business on February 28, the man was initially charged with four counts of sexual assault and three counts of rape. However, on Thursday, police announced that four additional women had come forward to Sunshine Coast Criminal Investigation Branch detectives, alleging assaults between January 2023 and August 2025.

As a result, the therapist now faces a total of 12 counts of sexual assault and six counts of rape. He is scheduled to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on May 6. Police have urged anyone with further information to come forward, as they believe there may be more victims.
