Summary
A 47-year-old moving company manager pleaded guilty at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, sitting as a District Court, to 18 offences including indecent assault, possession of child pornography and production of child pornography involving his girlfriend’s daughter, identified as X, who was about 11 to 12 at the time. Acting Principal Magistrate Xu Qiwei said the defendant had repeatedly violated a young child, breached trust and behaved in a shameful and disgusting way. The court adjourned the case to August 31 for sentencing after ordering background and psychological reports, and the defendant was remanded in custody. The case is DCCC 844/2025.
Key Points
- The defendant, identified as C.K.H.A., 47, a moving company manager, admitted seven indecent assault charges, three counts of possessing child pornography and eight counts of producing child pornography.
- The indecent assault charges alleged seven incidents at a Yuen Long flat between August 28, 2023 and March 17, 2024, involving the same girl, X.
- The remaining charges covered the period from May 31, 2023 to April 5, 2024 and involved 173 photographs and 50 videos of X.
- Police were called after an argument on April 5, 2024 between the defendant and X’s brother, then found two photos of X inside the defendant’s wallet.
- Officers later seized the defendant’s phone and Redmi tablet, where they found two albums with explicit titles and further images, including footage said to come from a home security camera.
Why It Matters
The case centres on alleged abuse inside a household where the defendant had moved in with a single mother and her children, raising concerns about child safety in domestic settings and the exploitation of trust by adults living with minors. It also shows how unrelated police attendance can uncover serious sexual offences through digital evidence stored on personal devices and even home surveillance equipment.
