A practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine who raped one of his patients and sexually assaulted two others has been jailed for seven years.
Hongbin Liu, 53, 'preyed on the vulnerabilities of his patients' and carried out a string of sex assaults at two health centres in London, Scotland Yard said.
Liu, of Vauxhall Bridge Road in Victoria, pleaded guilty to one count of rape, one count of assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault, at Wood Green Crown Court in North London on Friday.
He raped and assaulted a woman in her 40s, who cannot be named for legal reasons, at the Chinese Traditional Medicine Centre in Haverstock Hill in Camden, North London.
The woman visited the centre in February last year and agreed to see Liu as her usual therapist was not there.
During the acupuncture and massage consultation, Liu raped and assaulted her. On leaving the premises the woman went straight to a police station to report the offences.
Liu was arrested, interviewed and initially denied the offences. He was bailed pending further inquiries.
In March last year, two more women reported they had been sexually assaulted at the Shu Jun Healthcare Centre on Wells Street, Westminster.
One of the victims thought that while giving her a massage, Liu took a picture of her with his phone, but officers were unable to recover the photographs.
