He abused the confidence of hundreds of clients by secretly capturing them receiving massages and other services at his massage parlour - and today 6 weeks after news about the secret recording came out - Kevin Lin Lee appeared in Magistrate's court to have a criminal charge read against him.
The 67 year old acupuncturist who called himself Doctor was brought over from the Raccoon Street Police station at 9:30 am along with all the other weekend detainees in the police bus.
At 10:30, he went into Court #2 before Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser where he was undefended. She read him the charge: a single count of aggravated assault of an indecent nature. The complainant is a 20 year old female who reported to police that Lee fondled her private parts on april sixth at his clinic on Freetown Road.
No plea was taken because the matter will be tried in a higher court. The prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that the case is under investigation and more charges are forthcoming. Lee told the court he fears for his life, and the senior magistrate agreed with him. She explained that is why she is upholding the objection to bail - because she believes prison is the safest place for him right now. And so, he was remanded until December 21st.
Reports say that two other females have made similar complaints and charges will be brought for those cases. As we've reported, a cursory review by police of the hundreds of files shows a number of his clients engaging in what appear to be consensual acts of a sexual nature with Kevin Lee.
