Massage therapist in Winchester accused of 3 sexual assaults

WINCHESTER, Mass. — A Lynn man is facing three charges of indecent assault after allegations from his massage clients.

Police said three women accused 48-year-old Alexander Osher of sexually touching them during their visits to the Winchester Wellness Center in the past month and a half.

The wellness center owner, Svetlana Kresser, said she is stunned by the allegations and feels awful.

“I'm a woman myself, I wouldn't want it to happen to me,” she said. “I work so hard, I never heard of such before.”

Police said they believe there may be additional victims, and encourage anyone with information to contact the Winchester Police Department.

Osher has been released on $1,000 bail and ordered to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet. In addition he has been ordered to not work as a massage therapist and stay away from the Winchester Wellness Center.
