A man who allegedly sexually assaulted a woman during massage appointments has been charged in Sydney’s east.

Police said the 38-year-old man is a doctor, but also practises as an osteopath.

Following investigations into the matter, eastern suburbs police arrested the man about 12: 25pm Wednesday at a clinic in Bondi Junction.

The man was charged with one count of sexual assault and two counts of indecent assault.

He was refused bail and will appear at Waverley Local Court today.

“Police always encourage any victim of sexual assault to come forward,” the statement said.

“Reports can be made at any police station.”
