Metro Vancouver masseur found guilty of sexual assault

Following complaints that clients were being sexually assaulted while receiving massages, a masseur in Metro Vancouver was found guilty earlier this week, according to New Westminster police.

Jin Han Liu was found guilty on Monday of two counts of sexual assault.

After a victim in New Westminster reported being attacked, the 64-year-old Richmond resident was taken into custody in August 2020.

Police did not disclose the number of reports from victims.

“While this trial is over, the New Westminster Police Department Victim Assistance Unit continues to be available to those who came forward to tell us about their very difficult experiences,” read a statement from Media Relations Officer Sergeant Thom.

“We take sexual assault investigations extremely seriously and we will leave no stone unturned to ensure that suspects who engage in these types of crimes are held to account before our justice system.”

Liu will be sentenced this coming fall, according to authorities.
