Hong Kong student jailed 7 years for rape, sexual assault

The defendant, identified as YLH, was found guilty of one count of rape, one of voyeurism, and three indecent assault charges. The High Court case involved incidents at Fei Ngo Shan, a Red Cross inter-school orientation camp in Yuen Long, and an EdUHK orientation camp.

Judge Miss Susana Maria D’Almada Remedios cited a trauma report indicating moderate depression and anxiety in the rape complainant. She noted that while the indecent assaults did not involve violence or threats, and the voyeurism case differed from typical peeping incidents, the rape was considered a serious offense with no specific aggravating or mitigating factors.

One complainant stated she was taken to Fei Ngo Shan by the defendant after meeting him in Lan Kwai Fong, where he forced her hand onto his genitals and ejaculated on her stomach. Another complainant reported being groped multiple times and then raped at a Red Cross orientation camp. Three other complainants met the defendant at an EdUHK orientation camp, reporting various forms of unwanted touching and harassment, including one who stated he barged into her bathing in a broken-lock bathroom.
