Five years after "fondling" a client during a massage, leaving the victim "crying and feeling violated", a masseur has been sentenced to time behind bars.
"The actions of the defendant were done under the guise of the therapeutic massage ... [he] used this as an opportunity to touch the victim in a sexual manner," magistrate Jane Campbell said on Friday.
Timothy van Eyle, 31, only had two or three weeks of experience at Civic's Spa Mint in early 2019, when he massaged a woman and left her feeling "confused and uncomfortable".
