SINGAPORE – A massage therapist who molested a female client by touching her intimate parts, claiming that it could prevent breast and cervical cancers, was sentenced on Thursday (June 18) to 22 months’ jail.
Willet Ong Tat Kee, 67, was also fined $1,000 for running a massage establishment at his home without a valid licence.
Its location was redacted from court documents The Straits Times received.
District Judge Kessler Soh found Ong guilty of four counts of molestation in March after a trial.
The prosecution said: “Investigations revealed that the accused was practising in the unit a massage therapy known as ‘Willet Zone Point Therapy’, which is a massage therapy akin to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) massage therapy known as ‘tui na’.”
Ong had claimed to have developed his own therapy after about 40 years of “research” into the traditional Chinese therapeutic massage.
But when a 32-year-old woman sought his help with her chronic back pain, he molested her on four separate occasions in 2016.
