An Adelaide massage therapist who allegedly indecently assaulted eight of his clients over two years is now facing a further seven charges.

Jason Paul Hagon, 52, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today, charged with a total of 25 counts, including indecent assault and rape.

Mr Hagon operated his massage business out of his Morphett Vale home but was banned from practising by the Health and Community Services Complaints Commissioner in April.

Prosecutors asked Chief Magistrate Judge Mary-Louise Hribal for a 12-week delay so police could go through statements from all eight complainants, as well as check Mr Hagon's qualifications.

His lawyer, James Caldicott, indicated his client would fight the charges, but he was negotiating with prosecutors on two counts.

Mr Hagon will be back before the court in November to officially enter his plea.
