A 21-year-old barista has been sentenced to five months’ imprisonment as a combined punishment for six counts of indecent assault on a girl, identified only as X, between August and September, 2023.
Zander Sacay, a Filipino resident in Hong Kong, received the
sentence from Acting Principal Magistrate David Cheung on Friday (May 30) at
Eastern Court after pleading guilty in an earlier hearing to the charges filed
by Tuen Mun Police last Jan. 28.

Magistrate Cheung convicted him for violating section 122(1)
of the Crimes Ordinance, and set a sentence of three months’ jail for each of
the six offenses.
