An employee has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a patron at an acupuncture clinic in Riverside, police said Saturday, April 29.
In early March, Riverside Police Department officers began an investigation into the reported sexual assault. A woman reported she was assaulted during a massage treatment by an employee at “Healing Tree Acupuncture & Wellness Center,” in the 3900 block of Jackson Street.
Detectives assigned to the Sexual Assault & Child Abuse Unit identified the suspect as 67-year-old Jungsik Mo of Anaheim Hills, Riverside police said in a news release.
It was discovered he worked as an unlicensed masseuse at the clinic and his wife is the owner. Police said they have another location in Fullerton named “Haim Healing Center.” Detectives arrested Mo in Riverside on Monday, April 24, on two counts of suspected sexual assault, and he has since been released on $75,000 bail.
A request for comment on the allegations and the arrest was placed with the Healing Tree business.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims who sought treatment at the Riverside business, the release said.
Anyone with information regarding the investigation can contact Detective Edward Vazquez at (951) 353-7136 or EVazquez@RiversideCA.gov
