Bad Breath Rapist Sentenced for 2005 Quincy Rape

Tuen Kit Lee, infamously known as the 'Bad Breath Rapist', was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison in Norfolk Superior Court for the 2005 kidnapping and rape of a co-worker. The victim, who worked at Lee's family's restaurant in Quincy, identified him by his distinct breath, attributed to traditional herbal medicines. Lee fled during his 2007 trial and remained a fugitive for nearly 16 years until his capture in Danville, California, in May. His arrest followed extensive efforts by law enforcement, including media campaigns and tips from the public. The victim provided a harrowing impact statement, detailing the long-lasting trauma and fear from the incident. The judge emphasized the brutal and violent nature of Lee's crimes in delivering the sentence.
