A SALES assistant who went along with what her boyfriend said ''like a lamb'' has been sent to a training centre for possession of drugs for trafficking.
Mr Justice Saied told Lo Wai-ling, who was 17 at the time of the offence, that her trust in her boyfriend, Tang Yiu-cheung, 28, who is serving a 16-year jail term, was totally misplaced.
The judge warned young women like Lo to think carefully before getting involved with such men. He said Lo's better judgment should have told her to keep away from Tang as soon as she knew of his involvement in drugs.
The indication was that she was willing to go along with him like a lamb, with implicit trust in him.
Lo was found guilty by a High Court jury a fortnight ago of possessing 945 grams of a heroin mixture including 44.83 grams of ''ice'' for trafficking.
Her counsel, Wong Man-kit, said Lo was naive and timid. She found comfort only when she associated with Tang, a driver.
