LIEW ANALYZEED THE RESULTS OF PATIENTS RECEIVING Care
Liew worked as a senior professional sales professional between 2019 and 2022 at the time of the crimes, and he also volunteered part-time as a TCM practitioner at two centers where the crimes were committed.  ,
At one of the clinics, Liew’s standard patients had five adult victims. During treatments, these patients would generally lie face downward.  ,

In court documents, the prosecution claimed that seeing them in this risky position had “excite” and” cause” Liew to get illegal photos.  ,
