CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) -- A Chesapeake massage therapist was in court Friday morning to be arraigned on sexual assault charges. 58-year-old Ahmed Zejjari appeared virtually Friday morning, where he was arraigned for aggravated sexual battery for an incident that occurred at a popular Chesapeake business called Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. According to court documents, the alleged victim was assigned a male therapist who introduced himself as Matt — later revealed to have been Zejjari. During the session, the victim alleges that Matt, or Zejjari, repeatedly attempted to expose her by manipulating the blanket. The victim, who said she wanted a relaxing massage for her birthday, was told by Zejjari that he would instead perform a deep tissue massage, saying that is what he specialized in. After Zejjari manipulated the blanket to completely expose the victim, she quickly turned over to avoid full exposure. Later, while massaging the victim's legs, Zejjari allegedly spread them apart to an uncomfortable degree — even at one point making direct skin contact with the victim's glutes, something the massage parlor said is against their policy. According to the parlor, massage therapists are only permitted to massage the glute area over a blanket and only with consent from the patient, which the victim claims she did not give. The victim then quickly rolled over and told Zajjari, "we're done." Court documents then say Zajjari placed his hands on the victim's chest and said "[victim's name], we are done." After the incident, the victim then filed a police report, as well as a complaint with the spa. The following morning, the business informed the victim that "Matt" was actually named Ahmed Zajjari. Court documents state that Zajjari had been working at the Hand & Stone Spa since February of 2025. Continue to check WAVY.com for updates. ...read more read less
