A Hong Kong barrister faces additional charges after a second victim accused him of indecent assault, joining a former pupil who levelled similar accusations over events that took place nine years ago.
Prosecutors on Tuesday told Eastern Court that a second victim had come forward to file a complaint against Simon So Shun-yan, who was admitted to the bar in 2018 and founded his own chambers that same year.
The 32-year-old faces two new counts of common assault and another of indecent assault, in addition to the original two molestation charges.

He was earlier accused of molesting the first victim twice at a flat in Sai Ying Pun on August 30, 2017. The court previously heard that the complainant was a pupil So had supervised.
So earlier clarified that the first complainant was not, in fact, a pupil at his firm. Rather, the victim was part of a group of juniors mentored by the barrister, who referred to him as their “master”.

Prosecutors asked the court to impose reporting restrictions concerning the identity of the second complainant.
