The latest anti-corruption mass-uprising symbol in Hong Kong is a bra: it protests the jailing of a female protester who was convicted of “assaulting a police officer” with her boob.
The judge who convicted her said that her claims of sexual assault against the officer who grabbed her breast were “trumped up” and had harmed the officer’s reputation.
During her trial, Ng pleaded not guilty, saying she cried “indecent assault” when the police officer’s hand landed on her breast, according to the South China Morning Post.
But a local magistrate rejected the claim and accused her of lying.
“You used your female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested you. This is a malicious act,” said deputy magistrate Chan Pik-kiu, adding Ng had harmed the officer’s reputation with her accusation.
