Spa Masseur Avoids Jail After Sexually Assaulting Multiple Clients

In November and December 2024, a 36-year-old masseur named Ibrahim Ali sexually assaulted five women during treatments at the Nirvana Spa in Sindlesham, Berkshire. The victims had booked appointments for back and foot massages, but Ali made them remove all their clothes and put on paper underwear, even when they did not want to. He then pulled down the towels covering their bodies lower than necessary and touched them inappropriately.

All the women reported Ali's behavior to the spa staff, and one went to the police in December 2024, launching an investigation. Ali was arrested and pleaded guilty to the charges. On Monday, November 13, 2025, he was sentenced to two years in jail, suspended for two years, at Reading Crown Court.
