  "summary": "Hong Kong’s government-funded broadcaster, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), has handed a senior editor, Chong Tak-yin, 160 hours of community service for filming up a woman’s skirt in Mong Kok last year. Chong, an Assistant Chief Assignment Editor, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful recording or observation of intimate parts. His lawyer noted that Chong has sought professional help and is confident he can fulfill the community service order with a low risk of reoffending. The maximum sentence for upskirting is five years’ imprisonment, but Chong is still listed as an editor at RTHK on the government’s civil servants directory.",
