Victoria, BC –Special Victims Unit Investigators are working with additional information provided by members of the public as our investigations into alleged sexual assaults by 70-year-old Esquimalt man Kit Wong continue. Investigators continue to ask that anyone with information comes forward.
Kit Wong faces four charges of sexual assault. These charges relate to Wong’s work as an acupuncturist, massage and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, from his home-based business in Esquimalt. Wong also served as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Although not a member of the medical staff, Wong practiced traditional Chinese medicine on service members.
Wong was arrested on Tuesday August 14th. He was released on bail with conditions.
