Massage Therapist at Winchester Wellness Center Accused of Sexually Assaulting Clients

WOBURN,MA -- A massage therapist working at the Winchester Wellness Center was released on bail after pleading not guilty to rape and sexual molestation charges stemming from the alleged sexual assaults of three of his massage clients.

In Middlesex Superior Court on April 26, Alexander Osher, 48, of Lynn, was released on $1,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty to charges of: rape, assault to rape, and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over (three counts).

As part of his release on bail, Osher must wear a GPS monitoring bracelet with a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

His next court date is a scheduling conference on May 24.

From Dec. 15, 2016 to Jan. 16, 2017, the Winchester Police Department received three separate complaints from women stating that during their visit to the Winchester Wellness Center, where the defendant worked as a licensed masseuse, they had been inappropriately touched during their massages.

Following an investigation, Winchester Police arrested Osher on Jan. 18.

“We are extremely grateful to the victims who have come forward to assist the Winchester Police Department and Middlesex District Attorney’s Office in charging this suspect,” Winchester Police Chief Peter MacDonnell said in a press release after Osher's arrest.

“We believe that there are more victims out there, and it is our hope that the bravery of the three victims who came to the police will empower others to do the same.”

Anyone who feels they may have also been a victim of an indecent sexual assault to not hesitate to contact the Winchester Police Department at 781-729-0238.
