Chinese healer accused of sexual assault

SYDNEY - A 55-year-old Chinese traditional healer has been accused of sexually assaulting five women at his healing centre in Sydney.

Watson Zhu, owner of the Chinese Medicine and Herbal Centre in Sussex Street, was arrested after complaints were received from two women, who allegedly witnessed the other being touched inappropriately by Zhu, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Zhu was released from police custody Thursday night when his family organised a $510,000 bail.

Central Local Court magistrate Alan Moore granted the bail with strict restrictions - that he should not work at his healing centre, surrender his passport and stay away from airports.

Zhu was also ordered to stay away from his five alleged victims and to report daily to police.
