A Hong Kong man identified in court as FKY has pleaded guilty to 14 rape counts involving his daughter between December 2015 and November 2021. The girl was aged six to 10 during the period. The High Court heard that threats and promises were used, and that the actual number of offences may be higher.

A Hong Kong man has admitted repeatedly raping his daughter over a six-year period, according to the South China Morning Post. The defendant, identified in court only by his initials, FKY, pleaded guilty in the High Court on Wednesday to 14 counts of rape. The offences took place between December 2015 and November 2021, when the girl was between six and 10 years old.

The court heard that FKY used threats and promises to secure his daughter’s cooperation. The girl said she was raped almost weekly after the abuse began, according to the report. The 14 charges do not necessarily represent the full number of alleged offences.

The High Court heard that the actual number could be much higher, although the supplied material does not give an alternative total. The report does not provide the defendant’s full name, details of his plea hearing beyond the guilty pleas, or information about sentencing. It also does not include a statement from the victim outside the evidence described in court.

The case concerns repeated sexual abuse of a child within the family over a period lasting from late 2015 to late 2021. The South China Morning Post reported that the defendant admitted the 14 charges in the High Court. Further proceedings or a sentence were not specified in the available material.
