A Hong Kong maths teacher who admitted sexually abusing a pupil during tutoring has been jailed for three years. The court heard that the child was nine at the time of the first assault and that intimate images were taken of the pupil and another boy during volunteer lessons.
A Hong Kong teacher has been sentenced to three years in prison for sexually abusing a primary school pupil during tutoring sessions and taking intimate photographs of the child and another boy, according to the South China Morning Post. Deputy District Judge Ko Wai-hung imposed the sentence on Friday. The 31-year-old maths teacher had earlier admitted sexually abusing a student at his flat in Yuen Long between January 2022 and July 2024.
The pupil was nine years old when the first assault occurred, the report said. The teacher had been providing volunteer tutoring, and the alleged offending included the molestation of the pupil and the taking of intimate pictures involving that child and another boy. The defendant was clinically evaluated as a paedophile, according to the supplied report.
It did not provide the details of the assessment, the circumstances in which the abuse was discovered or information about the second child beyond the reference to photographs. The court’s sentence followed the teacher’s admission of the sexual abuse. The available material did not include a statement from the victims or their families, details of any additional charges, or information about possible restrictions after the teacher’s release.
The case concerned conduct that took place over a period extending from early 2022 to mid-2024. The report identified the defendant as a maths teacher but did not name him in the supplied text.
