Massachusetts fugitive dubbed 'Bad Breath Rapist' captured after fleeing nearly 17 years ago
A Massachusetts fugitive who gained notoriety as the “Bad Breath Rapist,” was apprehended by U.S. Marshals and other law enforcement officials in California on Tuesday, after nearly 17 years on the run.
Marshals announced on Tuesday that the agency’s Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force (PSWRFTF) in Northern California and the Massachusetts Fugitive Task Force arrested Tuen Kit Lee, 55, with the help of the Massachusetts State Police and Quincy Police Department.
Lee is accused of fleeing his trial in September 2007. A jury found him guilty of kidnapping and raping a woman in 2005, when he fled before sentencing.
Boston 25 News reported that authorities claim Lee’s family owned a restaurant in Quincy, and he raped a waitress from the restaurant at her home after breaking in on Feb. 2, 2005.
During the crime, Lee wore a mask and held the victim at knife point before zip-tying her to the bed and sexually assaulting her, investigators alleged.

The victim was found by her boyfriend several hours later, bound to the bed. The boyfriend told investigators he went to the home after he was unable to reach his girlfriend by phone.
The victim identified Lee as the perpetrator after she identified him by his bad breath, which led to media outlets calling him the “Bad Breath Rapist.”
After Lee was found guilty of kidnapping and rape, he was believed to have fled the state and could not be located until recently.

Marshals said the Massachusetts State Police received a tip that Lee was possibly living in Diablo, California.
State police contacted U.S. marshals in northern California to investigate the tip and were able to verify he was in fact in the area. Lee was taken into custody on Tuesday morning, bringing a 16-year search to a close.
“There are violent offenders out there who believe they can commit crimes and not be held accountable for their actions,” Chief Inspector Sean LoPiccolo, acting PSWRFTF commander, said. “Tuen Lee was on the run for more than 16 years and the unwavering dedication by law enforcement to locate and arrest him hopefully brings peace of mind to the victim and her family.”

Only two receivers were selected in the top 15 picks, and a slew of offensive linemen followed with a very random Ty Simpson to the Rams pick sprinkled in for good luck.
With a league-leading 12 selections ahead of the first round, the Steelers had every tool in the belt to pull off exactly what they wanted to do – draft Makai Lemon. Yet instead of doing so, they remained stagnant, much like they’ve done as a franchise for the better part of a decade.
The Steelers sat on their hands and stayed put with the No. 21 overall pick instead of moving up to ensure his selection in front of the record-breaking 320,000 fans in front of Acrisure Stadium. As the Dallas Cowboys were set to be on the clock at No. 20, the Steelers gave Lemon a call. Only they weren’t the only Pennsylvania area code to ring the USC star.
As the Steelers were getting ready to tell Lemon he would be calling Pittsburgh home, Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles made a trade with the Cowboys to jump in front of the Steelers to steal the star pass-catcher from their grasp. Clearly caught off guard, the Steelers had to pivot and selected Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheachanor, much to the chagrin of the large number of Steelers fans on hand who audibly groaned at Pittsburgh selecting its third first-round tackle in four years.
It’s almost poetic that it was the Eagles who jumped the Steelers, considering Pittsburgh so obviously wants to be Philadelphia from a team standpoint. Assistant general manager Andy Weidl came from the Eagles, and the way the Steelers have gone about roster building in the trenches is similar to what Philadelphia has done over the last 5-10 years.n Unfortunately, the Steelers lack the killer instinct that Roseman and the Eagles have.
When the Eagles see the potential to add a game-changer, they do it. Whether it’s trading for A.J. Brown, signing Saquon Barkley, or getting rid of players and coaches when they begin to fail, no matter how successful they’ve been before, the Eagles have always stayed ahead of the curve while the Steelers have perennially been behind it.
While the Eagles built a near-flawless roster that resulted in their second Super Bowl appearance under Nick Sirriani and Jalen Hurts and their first win (second in the last decade), the Steelers were bringing in re-run veteran quarterbacks hoping they would be just good enough for a good defense to carry, a project that has failed twice. And instead of moving in a new direction, the Steelers are letting a 42 year-old quarterback dictate their offseason for a second straight year.
Fumbling Lemon wasn’t just a massive mishandling of the first round by the Steelers, it was an embarrassment. To be metaphorically noogied like that in your home city when, again, you had every possible opportunity to trade up for the player you wanted is completely indefensible.
It’s also an unfortunate reminder that the Steelers are still a ways away from being among the elite teams in the NFL. Despite the addition of Michael Pittman, the receiver position continues to be largely neglected, as they have just two other receivers behind Pittman and DK Metcalf – those receivers combined for 16 catches in 2025. Sure, they can select a receiver on Day Two, but it’s hard to get excited for Day Two pass-catchers in a thin class for the position when they could have easily landed arguably the most talented player at said position if they had just gotten the least bit aggressive.
And while organizations like the Eagles are moving up and trying to build a roster that can get them to a third Super Bowl in five years, the Steelers kept their feet in the sand as they wait for a text back from the oldest active player in the NFL, hoping he can help them win their first playoff game in nine years.
It’d be funny if it weren’t so pathetic. But what the heck, I’ll laugh anyway.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — State and local leaders are urging lawmakers to expand a bill protecting renters.
The proposed legislation would expand the “Just Cause” bill, which protects residents over 62 years old and living with a disability, or in public housing, from eviction without cause.
The expansion would cover new tenants in five-unit buildings after the first year of moving in. They said the goal is to help stabilize housing for thousands of people.
“Your apartment is your home, your apartment is dignity, your apartment is respect, your apartment is access to a local school for your child, knowing where that’s going to be and knowing it’s not going to change on short notice,” Gov. Ned Lamont (D) said. “Knowing you have a little continuity and a little bit of respect. And this bill is about a little bit of respect for the folks who are playing by the rules.”
The Connecticut Apartment Association said in response:
“Connecticut needs more housing in more places, and legislators need to focus on bills that will grow more housing for all incomes. Our members will stay at the table with them to craft sustainable responses that ensure accountability and solve Connecticut’s housing crisis.”
