A senior news editor at Hong Kong’s government-funded broadcaster, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), has been sentenced to 160 hours of community service for filming up a woman's skirt in Mong Kok last year. Chong Tak-yin, a 57-year-old Assistant Chief Assignment Editor at RTHK's Chinese-language news and current affairs division, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful recording or observation of intimate parts.
The court heard that Chong's probation and community service reports were "positive," and he has a family and a "good career." The maximum sentence for upskirting is five years' imprisonment, but Chong's full cooperation during the investigation demonstrated genuine remorse.
