Indecent conduct, assault on child snag 4 Filipinos, Bangladeshi

15 March 2023

 

Tuen Mun Magistrate rejected all bids for bail

Four Filipinos and one Bangladeshi holding recognizance papers, were returned to jail after appearing at Tuen Mun Law Courts today on similar charges of indecent conduct toward a child aged under 16, and common assault. 

“Go back,” Principal Magistrate Don So told two of the five before they were led into jail custody from the court’s detention area, after rejecting their offers of varying amounts of cash as bail.

The reason for the bail rejections was that there was no change in the circumstances of the case.

Magistrate So scheduled their next appearance for May 10, as proposed by prosecutors who said they needed more time for legal advice and investigation.

The cases arose after an incident inside a flat on Kung Om Road in Yuen Long last Jan. 3 in which the five committed “an act of indecency” and assault “towards girl X, a child under age 16,” according to the charge sheets.

In the discussions, it was revealed that the girl was 10 years old and those involved were neighbors.

While all five were charged for one incident that gave rise to the charges, four separate cases were filed by police.

In one case, the lawyer of one of the defendants, Jimwoel Macaraig, 53 years old, complained that he had been detained since January and would have been in custody for 17 weeks by the next hearing. He offered $3,500 cash as bail, which the magistrate rejected.

In another case, Julie Arcega Jr., a male aged 32, offered $5,000 while his co-accused, female Gina Villanueva, offered $1,500 as bail. Both were rejected by Magistrate So.

The prosecutor opposed the granting of bail to the fourth Filipino, Benjur Macaraig, 46 years old, who was accused of wounding the child in the body.

The prosecutor said B Macaraig was also facing a separate charge of wounding, and had three past criminal records. In addition, he jumped bail on immigration cases, the prosecutor said.

The charge sheet against Bangladeshi, MD Moazzim-hossain, 42 years old, was the only one that identified the four Filipinos as participants in the attack on the child.
