A moving services manager has admitted to repeatedly molesting the 11-year-old daughter of his girlfriend in their Hong Kong home, and possessing more than 200 videos and photos he took during the seven assaults.
Deputy District Judge Ivy Chui Yee-mei on Friday condemned the “despicable and sickening” acts of the defendant, who was 35 years older than the victim at the time of the offences.
The 47-year-old defendant admitted to molesting the girl seven times between August 2023 and March 2024. During the assaults, he used his phone to take photos and recorded videos using a home security camera.
Upon arrest, police retrieved a total of 223 videos and photos from the defendant’s electronic devices. A nude picture of the girl was also found in his wallet.
According to the summary of facts, the girl’s biological father died two years after her birth. In 2019, her mother and the defendant started a relationship and he later moved into their flat in Yuen Long.
Over the seven-month period between 2023 and 2024, he molested the girl’s genitals, forcibly kissed her, and asked her to perform oral sex on him.
These assaults were recorded by the defendant and saved on his devices. He renamed the files “intimate sex album” and labelled the girl as his “lover”.
