Retired Lethbridge physiotherapist charged with sexually assaulting underaged patient

Apr 2, 2025 | 1:26 PM

The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) has charged a man with sexually assaulting a young former patient.

In late 2024, police responded to a report of two historic sexual assaults that allegedly took place at Chinook Regional Hospital between November 2021 and January 2022.

LPS says a girl, who was 12-years-old at the time, was sexually assaulted while undergoing physiotherapy treatments.

The suspect, who has since retired, attended the police station and was arrested without incident.

Kin Wai Godfrey Kwan, 61, of Lethbridge, is charged with two counts each of sexual assault of a person under 16 and sexual interference.
