A Plainsboro man faces six criminal charges after five women reported being sexually assaulted or subjected to unwanted sexual contact while receiving massages at a Skillman establishment.

MONTGOMERY, NJ — A 44-year-old massage therapist from Plainsboro has been arrested after five women accused him of sexual misconduct during appointments at a massage therapy business in Somerset County.

A judge has since released him from jail pending trial.

Riyas Abdulkhaderkunju, 44, of Plainsboro, faces one count of second-degree sexual assault and five counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, according to Somerset County Prosecutor John P. McDonald.

The investigation began June 26, 2026, when Montgomery Township police responded to a 911 call from a massage therapy establishment along Route 206 in Skillman.

A woman reported that Abdulkhaderkunju had sexually assaulted her while she was receiving a massage.

Montgomery police responded to the business at approximately 7:12 p.m. and interviewed the woman who reported the initial assault.

Detectives launched an investigation involving the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit.

During that investigation, authorities identified four additional women who reported similar incidents involving Abdulkhaderkunju while receiving massages at the same establishment.

All four women were interviewed by investigators.

Prosecutors have not identified the massage business or disclosed when the additional alleged incidents occurred.
