Charges laid in massage parlour sexual assaults

A 51-year-old London man is facing charges in relation to sexual assaults that took place at an east-end massage parlour more than a decade ago.

London police said Friday the three separate incidents happened at Sweet City adult massage parlour on Clarke Road between 2002 and 2006. In each instance a female employee was attacked inside the business.

Following an investigation, Abe Vergara, 51, of London was arrested. He is now charged with three counts of sexual assault and is scheduled to appear in court on August 1.

Police believe there may be more victims in this case and are appealing for anyone with information to call them at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
