Masseur ‘sexually assaulted reality TV star after showing her naked photos of his other celeb clients’
A MASSEUR sexually assaulted a reality TV star after showing her naked photos of his other celeb clients, a court heard.
Marcelo Oliveira is accused of carrying out sex attacks on ten female clients while giving them massages.
The 45-year-old allegedly assaulted a TV star, who can’t be named, when he came to her home in June 2019 for a lymphatic drainage massage.
She told Birmingham Crown Court she was left “petrified” when he groped her while breathing “in a sexual way”.
The alleged victim added: “I did not know whether it could get any worse. There was nothing I could do about it.”
She told jurors the alleged sexual assault felt like it lasted “an eternity”.
The woman added: “Everything just stood still. It felt like a really long time.”
She said once the session ended, Oliveira asked her if she was OK because she had seemed “a bit unsure”.
The woman then called her sister and husband and told them she had been sexually assaulted, the court heard.
Jurors were told she had met Oliveira before the alleged attack when the massage technique was recommended to her to help her recover from cosmetic surgery.
He came to the woman’s home while her husband was there and it was agreed he would give the massage for free if she promoted him on Instagram.
She said he used his iPad to take pictures of her for “before and after” photos.
The TV star added: “He also showed me lots of pictures of other women.
“There were other reality TV contestants, at least three were celebs. There were naked pictures.”
Oliveira is accused of carrying out the alleged assaults between March 2019 and July 2021.
Jurors have been told he used the “cover of massage” to attack the ten women.
Oliveira, who has offices across the country, denies the charges.
The trial continues.
