A woman who went to see Maitland masseur Merv Fullford to treat pain she was having after a pregnancy claimed she was asked if she "masturbated" before he allegedly began rubbing an area above her vagina, a jury has heard.
Mr Fullford, now 65, a well-known Maitland remedial massage therapist, has pleaded not guilty to 28 charges of sexual touching and indecent assault relating to 14 clients between 2015 and 2020 and is currently facing an estimated four-week trial in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court.
