Masseuse charged with multiple sexual offences as police make appeal

A masseuse has been charged with multiple sexual offences in North East England.

Terence McBrien, 72, of the Alnwick area, Northumberland, is due to appear at Berwick Magistrates' Court on March 19. He is currently on bail.

He has been charged with 55 offences, including one count of attempted rape, seven counts of sexual assault by penetration, 34 counts of sexual assault by touching and 13 counts of voyeurism.

These charges are in relation to 14 women.

Detective Sergeant Michael Rainbow, the officer in charge of the case, said: "Following a complex and lengthy investigation, an individual has now been charged with attempted rape and more than 50 other serious sexual offences.

"We recognise the nature and number of the charges may raise concern and anxiety within our communities.

"We would encourage anyone who does have concerns or believes they have information which is relevant to this case to come forward.

"We would also like to remind people that with criminal proceedings now active, it is important to avoid speculation both online and in the communities which could impact the case."

Police are also reminding people that anyone who reports being a victim of any kind of sexual offence has anonymity and will not be identified.
