A 22-year-old Hong Kong University student, Fan Chi-yuen, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting four underage girls, according to the High Court ruling. Judge Andrew Chan Hing-wai described him as a "very sick individual" and noted his lack of remorse, emphasizing the severe nature of his crimes. The defendant, a psychology student, targeted teenage girls seeking romantic relationships on platforms like RedNote and engaged in sexual activities with them within a short time frame.
The judge highlighted his calculated and orchestrated approach, particularly the hotel assault that led to the suicide of a 14-year-old victim. Fan had pleaded guilty to 12 charges, including attempted unlawful intercourse, which carries a maximum of five years in prison. The judge emphasized the severity of the crimes, noting that they represent only a fraction of Fan's overall sexual encounters and ordered the sentences for the remaining victims to be served consecutively.
