The suspect, identified by Oregon State Police as Jianming Tang, 45, is charged in Deschutes County with third degree sexual abuse and practicing massage without a license.
OSP said the investigation into alleged sexual abuse at the May Spa, located at the corner of Highway 20 and NE 27th Street, started on July 14. The victim said she had been sexually assaulted by her masseuse during a routine session, OSP said.
