A massage therapist accused of sexually battering three female clients at a Sherman Oaks massage parlor is scheduled to be arraigned next month on four felony counts, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reported Wednesday.
Hong Quiang Shi, 45, is charged with one count of sexual penetration by a foreign object and three counts of sexual battery by fraud, according to Deputy District Attorney Karin Borzakian.
The alleged crimes occurred between March 18 and March 28 during massage sessions involving three women at Super Relax Massage on Ventura Boulevard, according to the prosecutor.
Shi is due back in a Van Nuys courtroom May 14 for arraignment.
If convicted as charged, he could face up to 11 years in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
