KRDO -- A former Pueblo massage therapist who's been accused of unlawful sexual contact with multiple women has now been acquitted of some charges, and others have been dismissed by the District Attorney's Office.
After facing trial on March 10, the 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office has chosen not to re-try the remaining counts against Christopher Sais.
Sais was tried on 12 counts of sexual contact during a false medical exam, all class-four felonies in Colorado in March. The jury on March 10 was "hung" on eight of those counts, and they found Sais not guilty on four of the counts.
A hung jury occurs when all of the jury members cannot reach a unanimous verdict. Now, court documents are shedding more light on the DA's offices decision to not re-try the remaining counts. Sais was a licensed massage therapist at Souler Wellness in Pueblo before he was arrested in April on allegations that he violated his female customers' trust and bodies in a number of ways.
These violations include touching their genitals, cupping their breasts, and placing his crotch in their hand. Many of the alleged victims testified in pre-trial hearings that they remember feeling or seeing an erect penis during their sessions.
