Zachary Watson is owner of Genysis Body Art in Sewickley and repeatedly made inappropriate advances towards the 17-year-old.

Watson is also accused of making the victim sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep her from reporting him.

Watson reportedly gestured to a gun when telling her not to say anything.

He is facing numerous charges, including promoting prostitution and terroristic threats.
