2 men and mum jailed for up to 16 years after Hong Kong girls sexually assaulted
A Hong Kong court has handed down jail sentences of up to 16 years to two men for sexually exploiting two girls when the defendants separately had a relationship with the victims' mother six to eight years ago. The High Court on Wednesday also sentenced the mother to four years for child cruelty, including locking the girls in a pitch-black bathroom for hours, and hindering a police investigation after the crimes came to light in April 2023. The two male defendants, former computer technician Quan Zhiming, 53, and retired security guard Li Kam-fai, 71, were slammed for their 'serious breach of trust' by assaulting the two minors on 18 occasions between 2017 and 2019. Quan, from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in mainland China, was given the heaviest sentence of 16 years for four counts of unlawful sex with a girl under 13 and six of indecent assault. Li was jailed for four years on eight counts of indecent assault. The 49-year-old mother, only identified in court by her initials ND, was jailed on seven counts of child cruelty and one of perverting the course of justice.

Trial begins for men accused of abusing young Hong Kong girl
A Hong Kong child was repeatedly abused by her mother's two middle-aged boyfriends, with one groping her on eight occasions, while the other had sex with her four times, prosecutors have told a court. Prosecutors on Thursday opened their case in the High Court against Quan Zhiming, 53, and security guard Li Kam-fai, 71, accusing them of preying on the girl when they separately had a relationship with her mother in 2019 and 2017 respectively. Quan, from mainland China, denied four counts of unlawful sex with a girl under 13. He had earlier pleaded guilty to five counts of indecent assault against the same complainant. Li entered a not guilty plea to eight counts of indecent assault. The 49-year-old mother, only identified in court by her initials ND, also stood accused of perverting the course of justice by trying to impede a police investigation after the crimes came to light in April 2023. On-fiat prosecutor Adonis Cheung Kam-wing said in his opening statement that Li first assaulted the girl when she was aged eight and studying Primary Two in 2017.
