Prosecutor Alex Chen told jurors that Chung sedated patients with
ketamine or midazolam, drugs typically used before surgery. Police found a jug of
ketamine during a raid of his office.
One victim was his best friend’s sister, and another was the same man’s niece, the prosecutor said.
“The love that was given to him, he was able to disrespect and ignore in every way possible,” Chen said. “What you’re not going to hear from any of the state’s witnesses is any consent. Pay attention to the bodies in the video, and you’re going to see that there is no consciousness.”
Authorities launched an investigation in June 2015 after Wong became suspicious about her husband’s infidelities and snooped through his text messages and computers.
While searching through Chung’s computers and hard drives, police found 10 videos of child pornography, according to his arrest report.
Two of the victims filed a lawsuit against him and his wife. The complaint, which alleges intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery, false imprisonment and negligence, states that Wong, a mandatory reporter as a pharmacist, “failed to report abuse to the authorities as soon as practicable.”
The suit also claims that Wong directed Chung to a source
where he could buy ketamine for cash.
It is not the first time Chung has been accused of a sex-related crime.
He was arrested in 2006 in connection with a case of open and gross lewdness with a teenager, court records show. That charge was dismissed after Chung completed 100 hours of community service, along with impulse control classes.
