A married 53-year-old station sergeant was arrested earlier today for allegedly assaulting his female subordinates. He was suspended from his position pending trial.
The sergeant, surnamed Choi, was charged with three counts of common assault and one count of indecent assault. His case will be heard at the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday, Ming Pao reports.
Choi had been under investigation by the Kowloon City District Crime Squad since August, after two female officers filed complaints against him.
According to the complaints, the 53-year-old kneaded a female officer’s ear three times and touched her buttocks once. Choi is also alleged to have made comments of a sexual nature to the officer and other subordinates.
The incidents reportedly occurred in May and June of this year.
According to an earlier report by Apple Daily, Choi is a station sergeant at the Kowloon City Police Station with over 30 years’ experience in the Hong Kong Police Force.
