A co-owner of an Elizabeth spa has been sentenced to three years probation after admitting he sexually assaulted a customer.
German Lopez, 51, former co-owner of Bodies and Faces Spa in Elizabeth’s Elmora section, was charged with second-degree sexual assault and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
According to officials, the victim, an adult female, visited the spa on Saturday and was receiving a massage from Lopez when he suddenly sexually assaulted her and exposed himself, according to Union County Assistant Prosecutor Tracy Boyd, who is prosecuting the case.
The victim subsequently reported the incident to police, Boyd said.
Lopez is expected to give up his masseuse license and may never work as a masseuse again.
