L.R.S.N. told police that Defendant had her massage his back, then he laid down on his back and asked her to massage his thighs. L.R.S.N. informed police that Defendant instructed her to massage his penis and grabbed her bands and put them on his penis. L.S.R.N explained that Defendant put his hand under her shirt and squeezed her right boob. L.R.S.N. stated that Defendant moved his hand down to her pants and put his hand insider her panty where he touched her vagina and inserted his finger into her vagina about five or more times.
