Jie Shao, a Chinese national, has been sentenced to nearly seven years in prison for performing a banned breast augmentation procedure that resulted in the death of Jean Huang, the operator of an unlicensed beauty clinic in Sydney. Shao administered a lethal dose of Lidocaine during the procedure, causing Huang to suffer cardiac arrest and ultimately leading to her death.
Despite Shao’s claim that the fatal dose was a mistake, she was found guilty of manslaughter. The court handed down a sentence that includes a non-parole period of three-and-a-half years. The judge acknowledged Shao’s expression of remorse but underscored the gravity of the crime and the necessity for accountability in such cases.
