A former district councillor’s assistant has been ordered to do community service after he admitted to filming an upskirt video of a woman’s legs at a mall last year.
Chung Chi-sun, 35, had pleaded guilty to one count of behaving in a disorderly manner in a public place, and was sentenced to 80 hours of community service this morning during a hearing at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court.
According to on.cc, Chung was not represented by an attorney today.
The charge states that Chung was accused of of filming the the lower part of the woman’s body from the ground floor of a staircase at the Luk Yeung Galleria in Tsuen Wan on Aug. 22.
The court heard that after he was caught, video clips of the victim’s legs were found on his phone.
Magistrate Leung Siu-ling decided to hand down the community service order after a report on Chung concluded the his chances of reoffending were low.
Chung also told the magistrate that he’s currently job hunting, having lost his job as a district councillor’s assistant as of Jan. 1 — the day the new district councillor terms began — and was volunteering on weekdays at his local church.
