Ajesh Jacob is facing 10 counts of sexual assault stemming from his work at Big Feet, a massage and reflexology studio in downtown Victoria
A former Victoria masseur accused of sexually assaulting 10 of his clients took the stand this week to say he didn’t touch any women inappropriately, and wasn’t romantically interested in them.
Jacob said he couldn’t remember massaging one of the women, who testified against him and who said she had received multiple massages from him. The woman gave him her full name, and because her last name was difficult to spell, she typed it out on his phone, he said.He testified that he contacted the woman on Facebook that night and she didn’t respond. He messaged her again a few days later, on Feb. 14, he said.“I sent messages to many people with Valentine’s Day wishes,” Jacob said.
A common example is making a suggestion that if a woman is dressed a certain way, she must be inviting sexual attention, she said.
