Kevin “Pain Pain” Lee safe in prison

Kevin Lee

On Friday just before midday, Belize’s most wanted Taiwanese/Belizean, Kun Lin Lee who is locally called “Kevin Lee”, known for his “ no pain no gain” slogan, was deported to Belize escorted by US marshals. Lee covered his face from the cameras that awaited him at the Philip Goldson International Airport. After spending the weekend behind bars, this morning he was arraigned on a single charge of aggravated assault of an indecent nature before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer. According to the police, there are a number of other charges to be placed against the businessman. When he was read the single charge, Lee stood with his hands folded; eyes closed and hung his head as he prayed. A twenty-year-old woman is the first of hundreds of lee’s clients to claim that Lee touched her inappropriately back on April sixth.  Lee asked for a translator saying he speaks mandarin and is not fluent in English. He also told the Senior Magistrate, that he is fearful of his life.   She responded she was also concerned for his safety, but while he may not agree that prison is the safest place at this time, that’s just where she will remand him. The magistrate explained that given the publicity in his case, she wanted a cooling off period and ordered him to return to court on December twenty-first. The court prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that the police investigation is ongoing and other charges are pending. Lee is also considered a flight risk since he had already absconded to Los Angeles prior to his deportation.

In late September, Lee fled the country after an unsuccessful blackmail attempt from one of the persons he had secretly video-taped.  He was caught in Los Angeles in October through local and Interpol work and then returned to Belize last Friday.

There are hundreds of files that police have in their possession; it is expected that Lee will be taken to court for criminal and as well as civil action by many others.  The Kevin Lee sex files are said to have been recorded over a number of years.  Lee is a resident of Freetown Road where he operates as a massage therapist and acupuncturist. It’s a place that was visited by prominent figures and diplomats as well as foreign visitors who did not know of Lee’s despicable recordings.
