Chun Hing Sei Denies Unlawful Sex with Girl; Defence Cites Victim’s Anti-National Education Petition and Boyfriend’s Anti-Extradition Bill Posts, Questions Reason for Report
施駿興否認與女童非法性交 辯方引事主反國教聯署、男友反修例帖文 質疑報案原因
Yuen Long district councillor Chun Hing Sei, formerly vice-chairman of Young DAB, is accused of indecently assaulting an 11-year-old girl in a park in 2008 and having sexual intercourse with her three years later when she was 13. Chun Hing Sei denies indecent assault and unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 16. The trial entered its second day at the District Court on Tuesday (the 16th). The complainant continued to testify, saying she first had sexual intercourse with Shi when she was in Form Two, after which it occurred about one to three times a month. Shi later proposed ending the relationship. Two years ago, after noticing that the defendant was running for district council, the experience was brought back to her mind. She said that, as a district councillor, he “should not do anything contrary to morality”; because she “did not want anyone else to be victimised” and felt at the time that she could handle the matter maturely, she eventually decided to report it to the police. During cross-examination, the defence referred to the complainant’s 2012 Facebook petition opposing national education and her boyfriend’s 2019 posts opposing the proposed extradition law, questioning whether she reported the matter because she opposed the defendant’s political stance. She denied this.
曾任青年民建聯副主席的元朗區議員施駿興,被指於 2008 年在公園非禮 11 歲女童,又於 3 年後與 13 歲的她性交。施否認非禮及與 16 歲以下女童非法性交罪,案件周二(16 日)在區院進入第二日審訊。 事主續作供,指中二時與施首次性交,其後每月仍有約 1 至 3 次,施及後提出分手。她前年留意到被告參選區議員,勾起記憶,認為作為區議員是「唔應該有違背道德嘅事」,因「唔想有其他人受害」,且當時自覺可成熟處理事件,最後決定報警。 辯方盤問時引事主 2012 年在 Facebook 的「反國教」聯署、其男友在 2019 年的反修例帖文,質疑事主是因反對被告的政治立場而報案。事主否認。
