Sonny Chin (63), who practices alternative Chinese medicine, has had name suppression since he was first charged in February last year. On his website, Chin calls himself a “Qi master body technician” and even boasts a testimonial from a former All Black who says he has been treated by the defendant for three years. Chin was originally charged with indecent assault following an alleged incident in December 2019 but since then more women had come forward to police. Chin has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has been on bail as the case has tracked through the court. According to his website, Chin was the founder of Hang Sun Technique after he discovered past healers and medical professionals “left one or two missing links in the puzzle”.
