A man, who was charged last year in connection with an assault that took place during a massage in Bedford, faces new charges.

On November 16, 2011, HRM Partners in Policing issued a release regarding sexual assault charges being laid against a male masseuse. That investigation resulted in a 41-year-old man being charges on November 8, 2011.

On December 12, 2011, police received a complaint of an assault that took place during a massage on May 30, 2011.
