Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Police say a 65-year-old piano teacher is facing charges of sexual interference and sexual assault.
Yung Ping David Chen taught private piano lessons in his basement for over 30 years.
Police say allegations of sexual assault were brought to their attention and they are concerned other students may have been victimized.
“We’ve done an extensive search of his records in trying to identify who his students were,” says Cst. Brian Montague. “We’ve tried talking to all of them, we don’t think we’ve been able to do that yet.”
Chen was arrested on December 18, 2013 and later released from custody with conditions, including no contact with anyone under 18.
It appears Chen has violated the conditions of his release, twice. Yet the Police will not arrest him but rather charged him with additional charges.
“We’ve identified several girls and young women that we believe are additional victims,” says Montague. “All of the victims have a various age range. They’re from the ages of 12 to 22… potentially there could be victims out there that are now in their 40s.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Vancouver Police tip line at (604) 717-0602 or Crime Stoppers.
