A former North Nashville massage therapist was jailed Tuesday on charges of impersonation of a licensed professional. 

Tarek Mentouri, 33, was arrested for allegedly impersonating a licensed professional after losing his massage license due to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct

The Tennessee Massage Licensing Board revoked Tarek Mentouri's massage license in August 2020 following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct with clients during appointments, according to a press release from Metro Nashville police. 

The department conducted an undercover deal with Mentouri Tuesday for a massage at his Glade Street residence. After Mentouri was paid, but before the massage, officers took him into custody, according to MNPD. 

Mentouri was released from jail on a bond Tuesday evening.
