A 65-year-old piano teacher has been arrested and charged after allegations of sexual assault were brought to the attention of the Vancouver Police.
On December 18, 2013, the VPD Sex Crimes Unit Police arrested Yung Ping David Chen for sexual interference and sexual assault. He has been released from custody with conditions that include no contact with any person under the age of 18.
Chen has taught private piano lessons to students in the basement of his Vancouver home for more than 30 years. The VPD is concerned that other students may have been victimized.
There is a publication ban in place to protect the identity of the victims. As a result, details regarding the alleged offence are limited.
Police are asking anyone that may have been a student of Mr. Chen, or the parents of those students, contact the Vancouver Police tip line at (604) 717-0602 or Crime Stoppers.
