A man from Hong Kong allegedly engaged in sexual acts with his younger sister when he was between 11 and 14 years old, prosecutors told the High Court. The five incidents occurred between 2013 and 2016 at their family home in Sha Tau Kok. The sister, now 20, reported the alleged offenses to the police in 2021. The defendant, currently 24, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of incest and three charges of indecent conduct towards a child under 16.
Senior Public Prosecutor Karen Ng Ka-yuet informed the court that the defendant admitted to these acts and expressed deep regret. Ng emphasized that the defendant fully understood the acts were inappropriate and that the language used towards his younger sister demonstrated a level of maturity beyond that of a child. The prosecution argued that the repeated sexual acts were not excusable as childish playfulness. The trial is scheduled to resume on Friday.
