Police opened the case in 2023 after a teen’s report, urging others to contact sex-crimes investigators.

Overview

  • Herman Hau Man Lee has been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation tied to alleged offences in Burnaby in December 2015 and in Vancouver between May 2018 and December 2022.
  • Investigators say the probe began in March 2023 after learning of alleged assaults involving a 17-year-old who visited a Chinatown clinic over several years.
  • Police say they also uncovered an earlier case involving a 14-year-old at a Burnaby clinic in 2015, leading to additional charges.
