CALGARY — A student massage therapist has been charged with sexual assault after police say a woman was touched inappropriately at a teaching clinic.

Police say the complainant visited the Professional Institute of Management & Technology's massage therapy clinic last month for a massage.

A second-year student with the clinic was assigned and allegedly touched the woman inappropriately several times and left her feeling uncomfortable.

The woman reported the matter to clinic staff, who launched an internal investigation and informed police.

Police say the 21-year-old accused is believed to have attended the clinic from January 2024 to last month.

He is to appear in court Wednesday.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 17, 2025.
