She said she had never met Tinco Zambrano when she went for a massage to relieve lower back pain the afternoon of Nov. 21, 2016.

Soon after stripping to her underwear and being massaged by the accused, the woman felt his hands moving to areas they shouldn’t have, she said.

She told the four-woman, eight-man jury that Tinco Zambrano first pushed her underwear down a little to gain access to her glutes and then asked her to remove them so he could better massage her.

“I was confused, but I agreed to it,” she testified.

“He said it would make it easier to massage the glutes.”

He was soon grazing more private areas, although she initially thought it was accidental.
