BRITISH holidaymakers have been warned after a masseuse in Gran Canaria was arrested for reportedly molesting and recording dozens of his clients.
The 59-year-old man who runs a massage parlour in the town of Patalavaca, Mogan, is said to have touched inappropriately and recorded his victims – including a teenager- for over a decade.
The Judicial Police Team of the Civil Guard of Puerto Rico – Mogán, as part of Operation Kurnia, has investigated the masseuse, who is of German nationality, for seven crimes of sexual abuse and privacy.
It is believed the man took advantage of his clients and recorded them with hidden cameras between 2005 and 2020, La Provincia reports.
The investigation was launched back in February 2020, following a complaint from the mum of a 15-year-old girl who claimed her daughter was sexually abused while having a massage.
Upon arriving at the parlour during the investigations, officers from the Civil Guard discovered a hidden camera in the massage room, where the alleged abuse took place.
