B.C. massage therapist charged with sexual assaults

Vancouver Police are urging any victims of registered massage therapist (RMT) Bodhi Jones, who allegedly sexually assaulted multiple clients, to come forward.

The Vancouver-based masseur has been arrested and charged for sexually assaulting clients after beginning investigations on the allegations in March 2017.

Several woman reported to police that they were assaulted by Jones during treatments between September 2016 and March 2017.

Jones was working near West 7th Avenue and Burrard Street in Vancouver during that time.

Officers identified several more victims over the next year and on May 29, 2018, Crown Counsel approved four charges of sexual assault against Jones.

The investigation continues, however, and detectives believe there could be more victims who have yet to come forward.

“Sex assaults are some of the most challenging investigations, and solving them is a priority for the VPD,” said Cst. Jason Doucette.

“We are publicly releasing this information with the hope of providing those affected with a direct point of contact at the VPD. We want to hear from anyone who feels they may have been assaulted by Mr. Jones.”

Anyone who feels like they may have been assaulted by Jones, or has important information police may want to know, is asked to contact the VPD Sex Crime Unit at 604-717-0603.

You can also report tips anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
