In the fall of 2017, Victoria police told their Facebook followers they were looking for more alleged victims of a local massage technician named John Heintzelman who'd recently been charged with sexual assault. The judge said police should have written the post without including Heintzelman's name or the address of his in-home massage studio. The massage technician was arrested on July 9, 2017 after one of his clients reported he'd fondled her breasts, inner thighs, buttocks and genitals during a hot stone massage earlier that month. Victoria police made their public plea for more alleged victims to come forward on Oct. 20. A second alleged victim contacted police the same day, claiming that Heintzelman had assaulted her during a massage in 2013.
