Hong Kong Barrister Faces New Indecent Assault Charges After Second Victim Accuses Him
Additional Charges and Court Proceedings
A Hong Kong barrister is facing additional charges after a second victim accused him of indecent assault. This development means he now joins a former pupil who had previously leveled similar accusations concerning events that occurred nine years ago. On Tuesday, prosecutors informed the Eastern Court that a second victim had come forward to file a complaint against Simon So Shun-yan, who was admitted to the bar in 2018 and established his own chambers in the same year.
Details of the New Accusations
The 32-year-old Simon So Shun-yan is now facing two new counts of common assault and another count of indecent assault due to the newly filed complaint. These additional charges represent new legal challenges for him beyond the existing accusations. The court is expected to continue hearing the case.
