  "summary": "The High Court has sentenced former assistant care home warden Chung Pui-kei to 13 years in prison for raping a mentally incapacitated resident five times in 2024 at a care home operated by Hong Chi Association in Tai Po. The court found him guilty of five counts of rape between July and August of that year. Police welcomed the court's decision, stating that the punishment would have a deterrent effect. Chief Inspector Tam Ching-shan highlighted that the victim, who is 21 years old and mildly mentally handicapped, required significant support throughout the investigation and prosecution process. The most egregious aspect of the case, according to Tam, was the rapist's exploitation of his position as a caregiver to abuse the victim's trust and sexually harass her.",
