A 47-year-old auditor, Chan Lik-hang, indicated an intention to plead not guilty at a further hearing at Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court over an alleged indecent assault involving a woman on a Tuen Ma Line train. Chan has not been convicted and the allegation has not been proven in court.
Chan is accused of indecently assaulting Woman X in a carriage between Ho Man Tin and Hung Hom stations on August 2, 2024.
Acting Principal Magistrate Cheng Nim-chi adjourned the case to August 28 for a pre-trial review and provisionally listed the trial for September 16. The supplied report did not specify the year of either court date.
Chan was allowed to remain on HK$1,000 bail while awaiting the next stages of the proceedings. The report did not state whether a formal plea of not guilty had been recorded.
