ST. PAUL -- A St. Paul chiropractor has been charged with criminal sexual conduct after allegedly giving an employee an inappropriate massage.

Authorities say Christopher Craig Thaemert offered to give a massage to a female employee last Thursday at Phalen Chiropractic.

The 43-year-old Hugo man was charged Wednesday with fourth and fifth degree criminal sexual conduct after the woman told police that Thaemert touched her inappropriately during the massage.

St. Paul Police say Thaemert sent the employee a text message apologizing for his behavior.

When questioned by police Thaemert denied inappropriately touching the employee.
