Spa Worker Accused Of Sexual Assault, Child Pornography

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- A spa worker is under arrest on charges that he sexually assaulted an unconscious woman while recording the crime on camera, authorities said.

Tyrone Dwyer, 55, is facing charges of raping an unconscious victim, oral copulation on an unconscious victim and possession of pornography of a child under the age of 14 years old following a criminal investigation that focused on his home and a Sacramento health spa, where he worked as a hydrotherapy technician.

Neighbors said they saw law enforcement search the Fountain of Health Spa on T Street, owned by the suspect's wife, but investigators haven't commented on whether the alleged crimes took place there or somewhere else.

Dawn Throne, Dwyer's wife, said in a phone interview that law enforcement told her they found video evidence of the rape taking place in another location.

Dwyer is being held on $230,000 bail at the Sacramento County Main Jail and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.
