A woman found guilty of assaulting a Hong Kong police officer with her breast at a protest has been sentenced to three-and-a-half months in jail.
You hear that, girls? Please wear sports bras to all protests. Keep ‘em under control, or else!
Ng Lai-ying, 30, was bailed along with her three co-defendants after being sentenced at Tuen Mun Magistrates' Court today.
The other three have also been found guilty of assaulting police officers, just with regular parts of their bodies.
Earlier in the month, Ng was found guilty of shoving her chest against the arm of Chief Inspector Chan Ka-po at a March anti-parallel trade protest in Yuen Long.
According to Stand News, dozens of localist activists – who are calling for Hong Kong’s independence from China – turned out at the court house today to support the so-called Yuen Long Four.
Deputy Magistrate Michael Chan apparently said Ng’s actions were particularly unsavoury because she accused the police officer of indecent assault when his arm touched her breast in the scrummage.
“If I do not hand down a deterring sentence, the public might mistakenly think it is a trivial matter to assault police officers during protests,” he added, according to theSCMP.
