An arrest has been made stemming from the Nov. 14 incident at Honey Hair, Skin and Body salon in Fayetteville where a woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by the masseur. Fayetteville Police spokesperson Glenn Askew said Friday that 21 year- old masseur Tariq Stevens, of Riverdale, was arrested Dec. 23 on charges of sexual battery. Askew said the woman alleged she had fallen asleep during the massage and had awakened to find the man assaulting her. She left the salon after approximately 30 minutes of a 50-minute massage and drove to Fayetteville Police Department to file a complaint, Askew said. Salon owner Isaac Scott said Stevens is no longer with the company. "It is unfortunate to be in our 5th year and a situation that our spa does not condone has occurred,” Scott said, adding that he values his clients and their protection, but was confused since Stevens was paid for his services and was not stopped or told he was doing anything wrong. login to post comments |
