    HCMA569/2017

    The trial judge's acceptance of the eyewitness as credible and the contemporaneous observation of an iPhone in recording mode, together with the conduct of placing two stacked phones into the complainant's skirt for about three minutes, justified the inference of an attempt to photograph and supported conviction for an act contrary to public morality; the absence of recovered images did not create a reasonable doubt sufficient to overturn the conviction.

    HKSAR v. AU PAK CHUNG

    Citation
    HKSAR v. AU PAK CHUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA586/2009

    The conviction was upheld because the combined testimony of the victim and a second witness together with the CCTV footage provided sufficient evidence that the appellant's presence and conduct caused reasonable concern; the sentence was reduced because six months imprisonment was excessive for the offence as committed although a custodial, deterrent sentence was justified given prior sexual offending and the psychologist's assessment of high risk of reoffending; the appropriate sentence was held to be about two months and the appellant was to be released forthwith.
