A massage therapist in Pennington was arrested and charged recently with sex crimes after a woman alleged he assaulted her during a massage, the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office said.

The woman alleges she was getting a massage from Asmar Berry, 40, of Clementon, at Renewed Spa Massage on Route 31 in Pennington in September when he "touched the intimate parts" of her without her consent, the Mercer County Prosecutors Office said.
Berry has since been charged with one count of second-degree sexual assault and one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
He was charged on a summons and then released, pending a court date, the office said.
Renewed Spa Massage declined to comment when reached by phone Thursday.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information on the case is asked to reach out to Detective Karen Mendez of the county's Special Victims Unit at 609-989-6568.
