Lee Sze Ben, 52, appeared in court on June 12, 2026, to face 22 charges involving the alleged molestation and non-consensual filming of 14 women at the Health Step Foot Reflexology Centre in Holland Village. The alleged offences spanned multiple incidents between February 19, 2021, and December 27, 2024.
The charges against Lee Sze Ben include specific allegations of recording himself performing a sex act on a 43-year-old woman in September 2022 and massaging a 58-year-old woman’s chest in April 2022.
Legal Charges and Court Proceedings
The court heard that Lee faces a total of 22 charges related to his conduct at the Lorong Mambong reflexology centre. These charges include the use of criminal force to outrage the modesty of victims and the recording of voyeuristic videos without consent. Charge sheets do not currently specify whether the defendant was an employee at the facility or if the victims were customers.
The breadth of these charges—spanning nearly four years and involving 14 distinct victims—suggests a complex legal path ahead. In cases involving multiple counts of voyeurism and outrage of modesty, the prosecution typically focuses on establishing a pattern of behavior, while the defense will likely scrutinize the specific circumstances of each encounter once legal counsel is engaged.
Potential Penalties for the Alleged Offences
The legal consequences for the charges filed against Lee are significant under current statutes. For the use of criminal force to outrage the modesty of a victim, an offender can face up to three years in jail, a fine, caning, or a combination of these penalties. The charges for recording voyeuristic videos carry a maximum penalty of two years in jail, along with potential fines and caning.
What Happens Next in the Judicial Process
Lee did not indicate a plea during the June 12 hearing. The court has adjourned the case to July, allowing the defendant time to engage a lawyer. A legal representative will likely review the evidence and the 22 charges before the next court date, at which point Lee may enter a plea or request further time to prepare his defense.
