Aurora Massage Therapist Arrested, Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Client

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- An Aurora massage therapist has been arrested after he was accused of sexually assaulting three clients in the past two weeks.

Police are concerned that there may be more victims who were clients at Relax Spa located near Interstate 225 and Mississippi.

"He was very quiet, didn't really talk a lot. We just asked him about his massage place since it was brand new," said Alexis Medina, who knew the suspect Guanming Yin.

Yin owns the Relax Spa where he also provided clients with massage services. The spa opened in August 2014.

He remains in custody at the Arapahoe County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Yin faces one charge for sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact for the incident on Monday. A 46-year-old woman told police that Yin touched her inappropriately while he was massaging her. She protested, left and called police.

Police believe more charges against Yin are likely to come later in the week.

"Not even any disturbing looks that make you feel so creepy. He was just a calm and polite kind of guy," said Medina.

Aurora Police officers said an alleged attack on Monday led to Yin's arrest. Police also received tips about two other alleged assaults, March 10 and March 20. In those cases, police said they didn't have enough evidence to arrest Yin.

Yin is not licensed by the State of Colorado for massage therapy.

Two online reviews were authored by those who claimed they were victims of attacks. One reads, in part, "Do not go to this place, I was sexually assaulted there. I had gone to the police department after this happened and reported it."

A post from February reads in part, "They are not shy about touching private parts!!! I'm not sure if this is common but when he got too 'personal' I said no!"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT:

The Aurora Police Department asks that anyone who has encountered the Relax Spa, in Aurora, or the suspect and feels that they may be a victim to be please contact Detective Ron Hahn at 303-739-6066.
