A 25-year-old man who was reportedly working as an independent massage therapist at a San Luis Obispo chiropractic office was arrested this week on suspicion of sexual battery.
On Monday, Dec. 15, police say the alleged victim reported that she was receiving a massage at Powerhouse Chiropractic when the masseuse, identified by police as Malcolm Sears, touched her inappropriately several times. Police say she believed the touching to be of a sexual nature.
Officers arrested Sears at his home.
