Adelaide massage therapist Kosta James Gourdeas has formally denied allegations he sexually assaulted a female client, pleading not guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.
Gourdeas, 27, of Lightsview, replied “not guilty, Your Honour” as Magistrate Brian Nitschke read a single charge of engaging in sexual intercourse without consent.
The allegation relates to an incident said to have occurred in June 2025 while he was working as a therapist.
According to court records, Gourdeas was working as a subcontractor at a clinic in Unley at the time.
A healthcare profile describes him as an “Australian-based health professional” trained as a massage therapist.
Following the lifting of suppression orders, Gourdeas was remanded on continuing bail and will face the matter in the District Court, with a trial scheduled for April.
