A man accused of inappropriately touching women during treatments at a luxury health spa has been charged with four counts of sexual assault.
Ibrahim Ali, 36, of Percy Place in Datchet, Berkshire was charged on Saturday July 5 in relation to the incidents at the Nirvana Spa on Mole Road in Wokingham, United Kingdom, the Thames Valley Police said.
An investigation was launched following complaints made by four women at the spa.
Nirvana Spa has an annual membership of more than £2,200 and describes itself as on its website as “the UK’s leading pure water retreat.”
In a statement, the spa said: “We are aware of the outcome of a Police investigation involving a massage therapist who previously worked at Nirvana Spa.
“First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt empathy to anyone affected by this matter. Matters of this nature are taken extremely seriously by Nirvana Spa and as such there was an immediate internal investigation.
“We can confirm that the individual in question is no longer employed by Nirvana Spa, and we have fully cooperated with the Police throughout their investigation.
“We cannot comment further on an ongoing court case but the safety, trust and well-being of our customers have always been, and will always remain, our highest priority.”
