FAIRFAX, Va. — An unlicensed masseuse is facing a host of criminal charges after allegations that he inappropriately touched a woman during a massage session and Fairfax County police are asking anyone else who might have been assaulted to contact them.

A 55-year-old man, Kyung Pil Chang from Haymarket, Virginia, was arrested and was charged with four felony offenses that were committed while performing a massage, according to police.
