Masseur on trial

A massage therapist is on trial for indecently assaulting six of his clients. Keith Ashley Dobson appeared at the Hamilton District Court yesterday. Dobson was a massage therapist based in Rototuna. The offending in Hamilton is said to have taken place between September 2015 and March 2016. In her opening statement, Crown prosecutor Geraldine Kelly, said Dobson had indecently touched the breast area and private parts of the victims. Dobson is being represented by Mark Strum, who says his client denies indecently assaulting anyone. The trial is set down for four days.
