Hong Kong policeman arrested for indecently assaulting two girls in suspected compensated dating case
One of the victims was also involved in a separate arrest – on the same day – of another man accused of indecent assault
An off-duty Hong Kong policeman was arrested on Wednesday for indecently assaulting two girls he had met online, in a case suspected to involve compensated dating.
In such arrangements, one party pays the other to go on a “date”, often involving sex.
He was said to have indecently assaulted and committed indecent conduct towards them. At least one of the girls was under 16.
The officer has been suspended from duty, a police source said.
One of the victims was involved in a separate arrest on the same day.
Separately, a 28-year-old man was picked up in Tuen Mun for indecently assaulting two girls he had met through the same online platform. He had also asked the victims to meet him somewhere in Tin Shui Wai.
