Admits disclosing lawmakers’ and police officers’ personal data on Telegram and Facebook; 25-year-old student gets two-year suspended sentence
認TG、FB披露議員及警員資料 25歲學生判緩刑2年
A 25-year-old student who posted the personal data of Legislative Council members and police officers in Telegram and Facebook groups earlier pleaded guilty to four counts of disclosing personal data without the consent of the data subjects. He was sentenced at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday (26th) to three months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years. Magistrate Jason Siu Ming Wan said the facts of the case were serious and imprisonment was inevitably one of the appropriate options, but the offences were committed when the social movement was not at its most intense and the potential risks caused were lower. Taking into account the positive background report and the defendant’s history of autism, among other factors, the magistrate ultimately imposed a suspended sentence.
一名 25 歲學生涉於 Telegram 及 Facebook 群組發布立法會議員、警員的個人資料，早前承認 4 項「未獲資料當事人同意下披露其個人資料」罪，周三（26 日）於西九龍裁判法院被判監禁 3 個月、緩刑 2 年。 裁判官溫紹明指，本案案情嚴重，監禁必然是合適選項之一，但案發時並非社運最激烈時候，引起的潛在風險較低。另考慮被告背景報告正面，曾患自閉症等，最後判處緩刑。
