WARWICKSHIRE SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST JAILED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULTS
A sports massage therapist from Warwickshire has been sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to sexually assaulting three women he provided treatment for.
Andrew Underwood, living at The Covers in Studley, pleaded guilty to three sexual assault charges on 18 February this year.
The Warwick Crown Court hearing on 15 March disclosed that the abuses took place at Underwood's home in Studley, where he operated his massage business.
The victims—who were not acquainted with each other—had each attended Underwood's practice independently from February 2019 to September 2021.
By October 2021, Underwood, a qualified practitioner with roughly four years of experience, was found to have inappropriate physical contact during sessions, made inappropriate comments, and behaved in a manner that was deemed unprofessional, such as ignoring their modesty and making lighthearted or dismissive remarks.
All victims characterized his behavior as inappropriate and unprofessional.
The court sentenced Underwood to three years for each of the offences, to run concurrently, alongside a £170 victim surcharge.
He was also ordered to register as a sex offender without a time limit.
