Senior Superintendent Ian Chow of the Hong Kong Police Force has been sentenced to five months and three weeks in prison for indecently assaulting a female subordinate at the police headquarters in Wan Chai. The assaults occurred in June and November 2024, including a work party, as per the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts. Chow denied the allegations, claiming there was a secret relationship with the victim, identified only as X. However, the court heard testimonies from X and eyewitnesses that refuted this claim.
Magistrate Vivian Ho ruled that Chow's behavior was disrespectful and had a significant impact on the victim's mental health. Chow, 51, has already been suspended from duty and plans to appeal his sentence.
