Massage therapist Pepito Manolo accused of sexual assault

Massage therapist Pepito Manolo accused of sexual assault

An Edmonton massage therapist has been charged with assault in connection with an incident earlier this year.

Last month, a woman reported being touched inappropriately during a massage at a physical therapy clinic in the Mill Woods neighborhood.

After investigation, police arrested Pepito Manolo, 55.

Police say Manolo may still be practicing massage therapy in Edmonton and there may be more victims.

The Certified Registered Massage Therapist Association, the governing body for the industry, has revoked Manolo’s registered massage therapist license.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
