Newmarket massage therapist charged with sexual assault

York Regional Police have charged a registered massage therapist from Newmarket with sexual assault following investigations at two wellness clinics in the area.

Augustus Oliveira Cunha, 52, was first charged on April 9 after a victim reported an incident at a clinic near Yonge and Edward streets in Aurora on April 8. Police say the suspect allegedly touched the victim "for a sexual purpose" during a massage appointment. Cunha was charged with one count of sexual assault.

A second victim came forward on May 21, reporting a similar incident at the same clinic on April 4. Cunha was charged with a second count of sexual assault on June 4.

Investigators say Cunha has been employed at several wellness clinics in Aurora and Newmarket and have released his photo as they believe there may be additional alleged victims. Police are urging anyone who believes they may have been victimized to contact York Regional Police with information.
