A Fountain Valley acupuncturist is facing multiple felony charges after authorities alleged he sexually abused female patients over a two-year period.
The Orange County district attorney’s office charged Henry David Lee, 70, of Laguna Woods with five felony counts of sexual battery involving an unconscious person and four felony counts of sexual penetration by means of fraudulent representation of professional purpose, according to Orange County Superior Court records.
