The incident allegedly began on the young girl's first day of work at the cafe on August 7. According to a police source, Cheung allegedly hugged the 14-year-old around her waist and touched her waist and breasts multiple times.

The victim reported the abuse to the police on Friday, triggering an investigation by the Mong Kok crime squad.
