Lee Sze Ben was handed 22 charges in all. They include using criminal force to outrage the modesty of victims, and recording videos of their private parts without their consent.
The 52-year-old allegedly committed the offences at Health Step Foot Reflexology Centre in Lorong Mambong. It was not mentioned in charge sheets if Lee was an employee there, or if the victims were his customers.

On another in April 2022, Lee allegedly recorded himself massaging a 58-year-old woman’s chest.
Lee did not indicate if he would plead guilty to the charges. His case was adjourned to July for him to engage a lawyer.
