Charles William Davidson, 71, is already serving a jail sentence for rape and sexual assault of massage clients and today had his sentence extended after being found guilty of 40 further offences.
A 71-year-old predator was persistent and brazen as he continued to sexually assault women while giving therapeutic massages over more than a decade.
The first single complaint about Charles William Davidson made about six years ago culminated this week in a second jury finding the masseur guilty of sexually assaulting and raping women as they lay on his massage table.
Davidson was first jailed in March 2018 after being found guilty of 18 counts of sexually assaulting 10 women and raping one in 2014 and 2015.
A jury sitting in a Brisbane court this week found him guilty of seven counts of rape and 30 of sexual assault involving 16 women, and three counts of indecent treatment of a 15-year-old girl.
