Justice came 40 years after a Hong Kong man sexually assaulted and raped three young relatives when they were aged between 7 and 11. The 58-year-old had earlier been charged with five counts of sexual assault and one count of rape. The defendant was accused to have sexually assaulted Y on a vessel in Hong Kong in 1982, and had twice sexually assaulted X five years later. He also allegedly raped and twice sexually assaulted Z on a vessel between January 1, 1986 and December 31, 1987. The jury unanimously found the defendant guilty on three sexual assault charges, also returning a guilty verdict on another sexual assault charge and rape charge by a 6-1 majority.
