Unlicensed Massage Therapist Accused of Sexual Assault Faces Additional Charges

An unlicensed massage therapist in Shelton already facing sexual assault charges after two customers reported he touched them inappropriately has been charged again after more customers came forward.

Police originally arrested Kim Hyung, 53, of Fresh Meadows, New York, on July 5, after an investigation prompted by two customers who reported he touched and spoke to them inappropriately during services at Coco Spa at 704 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton. Police said after that arrest, four more women came forward with similar complaints.

Hyung turned himself in on four separate arrest warrants Tuesday, police said. He is charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and practicing massage therapy without a license on each warrant.

He was arraigned and released on a $20,000 bond.

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with a similar experience is encouraged to report it to Shelton police at (203) 924-1544.
