Sexual assault charges are racking up against a Victoria masseur who police arrested in May.

Ajesh “Sam” Jacob, 35, was arrested by special victims unit detectives on May 13 on sexual assault allegations relating to his work at a massage and reflexology business in the 700-block of Fort Street. He was subsequently charged with one count of sexual assault.

Since then, detectives investigated several other allegations of sexual violence by Jacob, resulting in nine additional sexual assault charges.

Ajesh remains on bail while he awaits a trial date and is barred from performing massage services in the meantime.
