Senior Hong Kong policeman denies molesting clerk in indecent assault case
Civil Service Bureau clerk accuses officer Ian Chow, 50, of patting her buttocks and propositioning her multiple times in 2024
Senior Superintendent Ian Chow Ngai-kong, 50, on Monday stood trial at Eastern Court on three counts of indecent assault over the alleged incidents at police headquarters in Wan Chai on June 19 and November 1, 2024.
The court heard the complainant, a senior clerical officer from the Civil Service Bureau, was seconded to the police force to provide administrative support from August 2023.
She said Chow, from the force’s support wing, first assaulted her by patting her on the buttocks while she was talking to his secretary in a corridor on the 41st floor of the building.
The witness said she felt uncomfortable but did not know how to react.
“I didn’t dare suspect Ah Sir, so I was at a loss,” she said.
