Vancouver police say charges against a B.C. physician accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls were delayed because the suspect travelled to China during the investigation.

Investigators with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) announced charges against Herman Hau Man Lee, 65, on Feb. 3, saying the doctor was arrested in November 2025 and has been released on bail with conditions.
