WINCHESTER - The Middlesex District Attorney's Office has charged a massage therapist with sexually assaulting three clients, and they are asking more potential victims to come forward.

Alexander Osher, 48, of Lynn, was arraigned last week in Woburn District Court. He faces three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 14.

Between December 2016 and mid-January, police received three separate complaints alleging Osher touched them inappropriately during massages at the Winchester Wellness Center.

"We are extremely grateful to the victims who have come forward," said Winchester Police Chief Peter MacDonnell in a statement. "We believe that there are more victims out there, and it is our hope that the bravery of the three victims who came to the police will empower others to do the same."

A judge set Osher's bail at $1,000 cash and set numerous conditions for his release, including GPS monitoring. Osher also is not allowed to work as a massage therapist, or seek employment at any establishment that offers massage therapy.

Osher is due back in court on Feb. 13.
