According to a statement released on Feb. 16, 50-year-old Chu Bingquan was arrested in the area of 75th Avenue and Cactus Road on allegations of sexual assault and sexual abuse. Chu reportedly worked as a massage therapist employee for a foot spa in the area.

During an initial court appearance on Feb. 17, Chu asked, via a Mandarin Chinese translator, to speak with his wife. A judge later imposed a $100,000 bond on Chu.

"I do not have enough money to post the bond," Chu said, via the translator.
