KALAMAZOO, MI -- More charges have been authorized against an Oshtemo Township massage therapist accused of sexually assaulting clients.

The Kalamazoo County Prosecutor's Office has authorized a total of 10 criminal sexual conduct charges against Daniel Armand Lockett.

Lockett had faced five charges or alleged crimes committed while massaging four women between May 2016 and February 2017 at his business, Unity Integrated Wellness & Fitness LLC in Oshtemo Township.

On Thursday, prosecutors authorized additional charges bringing the total count to 10. Lockett now faces one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves touching with force or coercion causing personal injury, two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves penetration and seven counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves touching using force or coercion.

The charges allege Lockett, 37, sexually assaulted 10 clients from December 2015 to February 2017.

Kalamazoo County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Scott Brower said the charges involve six new alleged victims, along with the four alleged women who brought the original allegations. When news broke of Lockett's original charges in March, at least 34 people contacted the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office to talk to detectives about experiences with Lockett.

The first four alleged victims came to the sheriff's office independently of each other. Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Pali Matyas said once news of Lockett's charges hit the media "it was like a domino" effect.

One potential victim who spoke with the Kalamazoo Gazette said seeing Lockett charged made her feel like she "wasn't crazy" for feeling uncomfortable after getting a massage from him in December.

"I wasn't nuts. I was floored, but I was pleased that I wasn't being too sensitive," she said.

During a court hearing in early March, a sheriff's deputy described what Lockett's alleged victims said he did to them. In one instnace, he allegedly massaged up and down a woman's leg and touched her pubic area about 20 times. Another time, he produced two hot stones normally used for massage and placed them on a woman's breasts and rubbed her breasts, according to the testimony.

"She felt intimidated and scared," the deputy said of the woman.

Another person reported Lockett rubbed and touched her buttocks and vagina during a massage.

Second and third-degree criminal sexual conduct both carry maximum penalties of 15 years in prison. Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct is a high-court misdemeanor with a two-year maximum penalty.

Lockett is out on a personal recognizance bond. A preliminary examination on evidence against him in the cases is scheduled for Tuesday, April 25.
