Massage therapist Zoran Zivanovic, 57, jailed for sex assaults A Perth massage therapist has been jailed for more than four years for sexual assaults committed on women massage clients. A PERTH man convicted of sexually assaulting women while giving them remedial massages has been sentenced to four years and six months in jail. Zoran Zivanovic, 57, was found guilty by a jury in the Perth District Court of 10 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual penetration without consent. Zivanovic gave women massages at their homes and his home between November 2011 and June 2012. He was treating them for injuries mainly to their shoulders and backs, but touched other parts of their bodies, including their breasts and genitals, claiming it was part of the treatment. Zivanovic's lawyer Belinda Lonsdale today argued her client had a lack of insight into appropriate boundaries. "We accept that he crossed the line," she said. Ms Lonsdale said her client would be listed on the sex offenders register and would not be allowed to practise massage again. But prosecutor Alan Dungey said there was no regulatory authority to stop Zivanovic from practising. "It's a matter for the public to be prudent and aware," he said. In sentencing, Judge Stephen Scott said the inappropriate touching was prolonged and was committed for Zivanovic's sexual gratification. The judge said Zivanovic had destroyed the women's feelings of security in their own homes, and affected their self-esteem and relationships with their partners. "Each of them felt violated," he said. Judge Scott said the offending was a "gross breach of trust" and Zivanovic had taken advantage of his victims' vulnerability. "They trusted you as they might trust a medical practitioner," he said. Judge Scott said it was difficult to accept Zivanovic was remorseful, because he had not admitted responsibility for his conduct. However, the judge accepted the risk of reoffending was low and that the crimes were opportunistic. With parole, Zivanovic could be released after serving two years and six months.
