You can get a massage from SMU's Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports, but it's not free and it won't be given by Edwin Kim.

Kim, 24, was arrested by SMU police and charged with criminal trespass after he was found wandering the halls of the Morrison-McGinnis residence hall, posing as an SMU student and offering free massages. One woman who took him up on the offer reported that he had touched her inappropriately during the session, according to CBS 11.

Kim was reportedly carrying flyers offering free massages from the Dedman Center, where he claimed to work. He was also carrying unspecified articles of woman's clothing, and had more women's clothing in his car, because nothing says "let me work that knot out" like a Corolla full of creepy.
