A Rimrock man who was a licensed massage therapist has been convicted of sexually assaulting three women over a nine-month span in 2016.

Yavapai County prosecutors say a jury found 49-year-old Aaron Orrico guilty of three counts of sexual assault last week. They say Orrico was working as an independent contractor at some spas in the Sedona area.

He was accused of touching three women inappropriately while giving them massages in 2016.

Prosecutors say the women didn’t know each other and separately filed reports with Sedona police.

Orrico is scheduled to be sentenced on April 7.

Prosecutors say he could be facing a minimum of nearly 16 years in prison.
