Sentenced for breast assault
Ng is sentenced to jail for three and a half months for assaulting a senior police officer with her breast. Ng Lai-ying tells the court that she yelled “indecent assault” out of fear immediately after the chief inspector’s hand landed on her left breast when he failed to grab the strap of her bag. But the magistrate says she “used her female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested” her, calling that a malicious act that harmed the officer’s reputation. She is bailed pending an appeal.
Protest for breast assault
Around 100 activists including men wearing bras stage a “breast walk” protest outside police headquarters in Hong Kong after Ng is sentenced for assaulting a police officer with her breast. Some hold up bras and others wear them over their tops. Activist:
We better watch out as one day police might accuse us of attacking with our penis or buttock. We have come to this rather odd method to tell the world how ridiculous it is.
The crowd chants “Breasts are not weapons — give back our breast freedom” and “Shame on police” as a representative hands in a petition letter to a police officer.
