A southwest Houston massage therapist is facing charges for allegedly groping a 16-year-old client in early 2017.

Bing Wang, 47, was working at the Happy Feet massage parlor on Bellaire Boulevard near Boone Road when a teenage girl came in for a massage on March 13, 2017.

The girl told the Houston Police Department detectives that she typically gets massages because she suffers from fibromyalgia, according to court documents.

During the massage, Wang allegedly fondled the girl's breasts and touched her in other inappropriate ways, court documents detail.

The teenager told police she was so scared that she froze as soon as Wang allegedly reached underneath her shirt for the first time.

After the massage, she called her mother who was waiting in the parking lot. The mother confronted Wang before calling police, according to court documents.

Officers came to the scene and interviewed Wang, who denied touching the girl inappropriately. He was not immediately arrested, court documents show.

At some point after officers initially spoke with Wang, they scheduled an interview with him – but he allegedly skipped that interview and has not been heard from since.

Prosecutors filed charges against Wang on Jan. 30, nearly two years after the girl said she was molested.

Wang has yet to be arrested.
