Alleged victim explains why she waited more than a decade to give police her account of relationship with Sei Chun-hing
A Hong Kong district councillor accused of having underage sex was a “dangerous man”, according to the alleged victim, who said she decided to file a police report more than a decade later after she learned he was running for office and felt he could be a threat to other girls.
But the defence for Yuen Long district councillor Sei Chun-hing, 37, told the court on Tuesday that the woman, now 28 years old and identified only as X, was instead motivated by an opposition to his political views, a claim she denied.
Sei is accused of indecently assaulting X, who was 11 years old at the time, in a To Kwa Wan park in 2008, and having sex with her in his Tin Shui Wai home in 2011 when she was 13.
X told the District Court she decided to file a police report last April after learning in November 2023 that Sei was running as a district council candidate.
