A Hong Kong court sentences 65-year-old William Wu Yiu-shing to four months’ imprisonment for indecent assault of a secondary school student on a bus. According to reports, the incident occurred about two months before the sentencing. The case draws public attention after a passer-by recorded the assault outside the bus and posted the video online.
Wu is sentenced at West Kowloon Court (West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts are also reported) on Tuesday. The reports say Wu had pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault. Authorities describe him as a repeat offender, noting he has three prior convictions for indecent offences.
The video of the alleged groping circulated widely on social media, and the pedestrian recording is described as a key factor in bringing the matter to light. The court punishment reflects the offence and Wu’s criminal record, as reported by both outlets.
