Court

| PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE |
S.F., who gave his profession as a designer, appeared before Magistrate Bina Chainrai more than five months after the alleged incident, due to delays in court hearings because of the coronavirus contagion.
The defendant was described in court documents as an
architect but the prosecutor corrected that by saying he is a designer.
The prosecution said that the defendant committed the
offense outside the Joint Publishing HK office at 1-1A O’Brien Road
The charge sheet said the defendant “without lawful
authority or excuse, indecently exposed [his] penis in the said public place”.
S.F. was arrested by police but was released on $5,000
bail.
The defendant was supposed to enter his plea today, but his
lawyer applied for an adjournment until Jul 21 to obtain legal documents and
legal advice.
Chainrai granted the adjournment and extended the
defendant’s bail until then.
