Ex-primary school IT technician jailed 11 years for molesting 3 boys on campus
High Court hears Law Yuen-lung, 30, diagnosed with paedophilic disorder and kept over 800 images of child pornography
A former Hong Kong primary school IT technician has been sentenced to 11 years in jail after he admitted to repeatedly molesting three male pupils, with one of the boys still recovering from the trauma of being subjected to having intercourse with him.
The High Court on Friday heard that 30-year-old Law Yuen-lung had been diagnosed with paedophilic disorder, despite his denials of having any sexual interest in children. The court also heard psychologists had assessed that he had lived a lonely life with no previous dating experience.
Police found more than 800 pictures and eight clips containing images of child pornography in Law’s electronic devices during their investigation. Law also joined a channel on social media that was rife with underage pornography, the court heard.
The three male victims were in the fifth grade at the time and aged between 10 and 11. The first two indecent assaults involving two boys happened in March 2024. One of the boys, identified in court as Y, was later molested five more times.
On one occasion, the defendant told Y that he wanted to “connect their bodies” and have penetrative sex with him. All the incidents took place inside the school’s campus TV facility, where the defendant was in charge of the studio.
The court heard that he took pictures of Y while molesting him.
