A massage therapist is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in North York earlier this week.

Toronto Police say a woman attended a business near Avenue Rd. and Wilson Ave. on Aug. 1 and arranged to get treatment by a massage therapist.

Police say the woman was allegedly sexually assaulted during the massage.

On Friday, police arrested a suspect.

Peter Witz, 41, is charged with one count of sexual assault.

The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 14.

A notice of hearing posted online by the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario — dated Jan. 3, 2022 — states a massage therapist named Peter Witz faces a disciplinary hearing for alleged professional misconduct.

The notice of hearing states, among other accusations, he allegedly touched a patient’s armpits close to her breasts, upper thighs and groin area without consent; repeatedly brushed his hands and/or fingers against the patient’s labia over her underwear; and pressed and/or thrust his genitals against the side of the patient’s leg.

Police are concerned about the possibility of other victims.

Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 416-808-3204 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
