SCMP (Saturday, 24 November, 2012)
http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1089415/doctor-jailed-16-weeks-molesting-three-nurses
Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai was yesterday sentenced to 16 weeks in jail after he was found guilty of molesting three nurses at a public hospital.
Magistrate Ko Wai-hung sentenced neurosurgeon Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai, 36, in Kowloon City Court, for his conviction on three counts of indecent assault and two counts of committing an act outraging public decency.
The court previously heard that Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai molested three nurses, aged between 27 and 41, and exposed himself on various occasions between January 2010 and June last year. One victim said Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai approached her from behind at a nursing station and pressed his genitals against her hand. He was fully dressed at the time. Another victim said Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai, who is married, exposed his pubic hair and penis to her while she was showing him how to use a safety pin to secure his loose trousers.
The judge said an immediate custodial sentence was "the only option" because the offences were serious and Dr Allan So Cheuk Wai showed "no remorse" - insisting on his innocence throughout the trial.

Dr Tsoi Wing Sang Guilty of Professional Misconduct
SCMP (Monday 3 June, 2013)
http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1252227/doctor-guilty-over-sexual-remarks
Asking a female patient to pose like a dog that's urinating, and telling her to find herself a man: those were requests made by a doctor that have now landed him in hot water.
Dr Tsoi Wing-sang was found guilty by the Medical Council yesterday of professional misconduct after a 41-year-old former school teacher, known as Ms A, accused him of sexually harassing her.
He was found guilty on two charges - one of making statements of a sexual nature, and another of asking a patient to perform unnecessary postures under the pretext of treatment.
Tsoi was removed from the council's registry for 12 months, but the penalty was suspended for three years. It means he will be able to continue practising unless convicted again within the next three years.
"I was in a short skirt and he asked me to put my left hand up and bend my left leg back, like a dog peeing," said the teacher, imitating the pose at the disciplinary hearing.
The incident took place on May 8 last year, when Ms A was seeking treatment for the flu, rhinitis and insomnia.
"Oh, Ms A, you're so hot, you should get married and go hook up with a man as soon as possible," he reportedly suggested as a way to relieve the insomnia.
Tsoi repeatedly told the council that the insomnia had been caused by Ms A's negative thoughts and depression, but did not present any evidence supporting such a diagnosis when pressed during the hearing.
This is the third time Tsoi has been disciplined by the council in his 20-year career. In 2004 he was found guilty of presenting false credentials, and in 2006 he was handed a warning after failing to disclose a criminal conviction. He had failed to keep a proper register of dangerous drugs.
Tsoi's practice is currently based in To Kwa Wan, eastern kowloon.
Joseph Lau Wan-yee, chairman of the council, said this was the first conviction for verbal abuse. "We have to send a clear message to the public that we will not tolerate this kind of obscene remark," he said.
When asked whether the sentencing was too lenient, Lau said the council had taken into account past sentencing for sexual misconduct by the Medical Council in making their decision. Tsoi denied making any comments of a sexual nature, but admitted he had jokingly told Ms A to get married to a rich man and move to the Mid-Levels to cure her insomnia and rhinitis.
Tsoi had filed a writ with the High Court against Ms A in March, saying she had defamed him with malicious intent by accusing him of sexual harassment, but he later told the council it had been a misunderstanding. A legal officer accused Tsoi of making "contradictory" statements and being inconsistent with his facts.

Dr Barry Tsang Ka Hung Guilty of Professional Misconduct for Having Sex With a Woman Patient
http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1194137/doctor-guilty-sex-patient
(SCMP, Tuesday, 19 March, 2013)
Dr Barry Tsang Ka Hung has been found guilty of three charges of professional misconduct for selling insurance to and having sex with a woman patient, the Medical Council announced last night.
The professional ruling body has yet to decide the penalty for Dr Barry Tsang Ka Hung, 42, who could be permanently deregistered as a doctor.
Dr Barry Tsang Ka Hung was seen shaking his head and sighing when the ruling was announced.
Dr Barry Tsang Ka Hung, who has practised privately since graduating from Chinese University medical school in 1994, had sold the woman insurance after saying that he had money problems, the disciplinary inquiry was earlier told.
He denied the allegations.
In the initial hearing in January, the patient claimed she and Tsang had sex twice in his clinic and three times in guest houses in 2009.
The patient said earlier she and Tsang were lovers from February to October 2009, during which time she was also seeing him as a doctor.
They split after Tsang told her he was getting back with his wife. She said Tsang had told her he was divorced and had shown her what he claimed was a copy of his divorce papers.
In October 2009, she tested positive for human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes genital warts. She later said she was not accusing the doctor of giving her HPV, only that there was a possibility he had done so.
The woman also said she had bought insurance to help Tsang after he said he was in financial difficulties in 2008 and 2009.
In February 2011 Tsang was found guilty in Kwun Tong Court of cheating the Department of Health out of HK$960 with false claims that he had given influenza vaccinations to four elderly people in 2009. He was sentenced to 120 hours of community service.
前聯合醫院精神科醫生羅文友與女病人性交永久釘牌 - Former United Hospital Psychiatrist Dr Law Man Yau Banned for Life for Having Sex with a Female Patient
http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20090502/00176_033.html
前聯合醫院醫生羅文友涉嫌不正當親近五名女病人的案件，醫務委員會昨日達成裁決，涉及羅的十五項指控中，共有十項指控裁定成立，包括羅被指與精神科女病人A發展不恰當關係，他也因此而被重判極刑即無限期停牌。醫委會主席麥列菲菲狠斥羅濫用精神科病人對醫生的依賴，在病者身上「攞便宜」，更與有關病人發生性關係，是難以接受，故委員一致認為必須處以極刑。今次亦是首次有醫生因與病人發生性關係而遭無限期停牌。
這宗審訊期長達五個多月的案件，終以羅文友被判無限期「釘牌」終結。現年近六十歲的羅文友，原任職聯合醫院精神科醫生，被控以十五項專業失德，醫委會昨裁定其中十項指控成立（見表），包括與女精神病人A發生不恰當個人關係，亦因此被判處無限期停牌，醫委會同時建議被告十年內不得申請復牌；至於向病人處方危險藥物但未有妥善記錄及私下保存病人退回藥物等三項控罪，則分別被判處停牌一個月及三個月，而擅取病人病歷及與女精神病人A有不適當接觸的指控則被予以譴責。

灣仔告士打道解款車跌錢事件中負責押運鈔票的解款公司G4S今日再致歉

灣仔告士打道解款車跌錢事件中，負責押運鈔票的解款公司G4S今日再發表聲明，對中銀香港造成的影響及對廣大市民帶來不便致歉，又指公司會按合約內容，處理日後與中銀香港相關的索償事宜。 G4S表示，事發時負責押運款項的3名解款員已被停職；解款車現正被扣留，公司會全力配合警方調查，並承諾會即時作出調整措施，避免類似事件再次發生。

香港安全押運服務有限公司G4S一輛押款車，在灣仔告士打道時「離奇」跌錢，導致眾人撲出馬路搶走1,523萬元現金事件。警方認為事件實屬罕見兼且充滿疑點，當中包括解款員在車上的位置，以及錢箱為何會從車身側門跌出？灣仔警區重案組探員接手調查案件，案發後前往G4S位於長沙灣總部調查，了解該公司的押款程序。
解款員坐車位置有異
昨天下午，重案組探員前往G4S位於青山道481號總部，向肇事解款車車長及三名解款員錄取口供。消息透露，探員初步質疑為何部份以保險紙條帶緊纏的全新500元現鈔，由解款車跌出路面後，竟然「一跌即散」，復隨風飄散至馬路，鈔票的包裝是否出現問題？押送過程中有無被移動過。
警方調查的另一重點是，根據一般情況，解款車上包括司機在內的四名解款員，其中一至兩位持槍解款員需乘坐車廂側門位置，並在側門上落，但今次事件中，四名解款員全部坐在車頭，而錢箱則從側門跌出馬路。警方會了解押送程序及保安措施是否出現問題，過程中是否有其他人參與。
灣仔警區助理指揮官（刑事）溫兆雄警司表示，肇事解款車當時押運30箱，全是500元面額鈔票的塑膠錢箱，部份錢箱的現金總值1,500萬至1,700萬元。
警方除呼籲取走鈔票人士盡快將現金交還外，並會調查是否牽涉人為疏忽或刑事成份，溫表示，由於大部份失去的現金為簇新鈔票，警方會根據鈔票的編號追查失款下落。另一方面，警方亦會根據現場一帶閉路電視畫面紀錄，追查牽涉今次「搶錢」事件的人士及車輛。

路有財物，你會否俯身執拾？有律師提醒市民，在街上執到財物並且據為己有，可能會觸犯盜竊罪，即使犯案人士事後離開香港，本港警方仍可以向其他國家或地區提供涉案人資料，要求當地執法部門協助追查。
事後離港仍犯法
律師接受訪問時表示，市民在街上執到屬於他人擁有及具有價值的財物，例如現金等，沒有將財物交予警方反而擅自據為己有，其行為等同拾遺不報，有可能已觸犯盜竊罪，一旦罪名成立，最高刑期是判監10年。「因為呢啲財物根本就唔係屬於佢哋（執拾者）。財物擁有人如果表明唔要或者將財物丟去垃圾站，咁嘅情況去執就唔算有罪，未必觸犯到法律」。
對於有網民拍到有疑似內地旅行團，昨日在灣仔告士打道執拾解款車跌下的現金並迅速離開現場，律師稱，如果執到財物及據為己有的並非香港居民，事後並且帶同財物離開本港，本港警方無法跨境執法，在此情況下只能透過涉案人士所在國家或地區的執法部門協助追查，角色被動。
律師補充，能否追討相關財物，還須視乎相關國家或地區是否有防止洗黑錢的法例，如果當地有相關法例，本港警方可以將涉案人及被盜現鈔的資料傳送當地執法部門調查跟進，一旦查到涉案人曾將盜取而來的現鈔兌現並存入戶口，執法部門可凍結該戶口。

上訴庭：不應引導陪審「警較可信」
http://news.mingpao.com/pns/%E4%B8%8A%E8%A8%B4%E5%BA%AD%EF%BC%9A%E4%B8%8D%E6%87%89%E5%BC%95%E5%B0%8E%E9%99%AA%E5%AF%A9%E3%80%8C%E8%AD%A6%E8%BC%83%E5%8F%AF%E4%BF%A1%E3%80%8D/web_tc/article/20141224/s00002/1419356966752
【明報專訊】育有兩子的27歲母親，經審訊後原被裁定販毒及藏毒罪成，判囚7年，惟她不服上訴，上訴庭認為案中兩名警員證供不可信，更有杜撰之嫌，裁定上訴得直，撤銷控罪及判刑。上訴庭昨在判辭指出，根據法律原則，法官引導陪審團時不應說因證人是警員，其經驗和訓練會令其證供較可信，認為這只會「引起不必要的爭議」。
警疑涉造假 婦脫販毒
法官潘兆初在判辭指出，控方主要依賴上訴人老嘉盈向警員作出的兩次口頭招認，以及相關紀錄作為證據，法官考慮證供後，認為兩名警員並非可信或可靠的證人。法官稱，當日負責拘捕的警員原在其警員記事冊上將上訴人的住處記錄為「青山道」某單位，後來將其刪改為「福華道621號」、即案發單位。法官指案發時上訴人確住在青山道單位，上訴人稱她曾告訴警員，但警員否認，更解釋因他經常巡邏青山道一帶，才因手民之誤將上訴人的住址寫成青山道，法官認為這樣的解釋是「荒謬之至」，警員能夠寫下青山道地址，必然是因為上訴人曾告訴他。
警辯寫錯 官：荒謬之至
法官認為，警員的意圖明顯不過，是想令人相信上訴人住在案發單位，將她陷入不利處境；法官指這難免令人懷疑有關上訴人作出口頭招認等的紀錄，亦是該警員杜撰。至於另一名警員在記錄有關上訴人的詳細招認時，亦沒記錄自己的提問，同樣有杜撰之嫌。
法官又指出，原審高院暫委法官黃崇厚引導陪審團時曾說，警員「曾經受訓，有職責在身，因此（可能）係較好或者較誠實嘅證人」，但這樣的指引並無需要。案發於前年7月10日，上訴人原被控非法販運14.31克冰毒及藏有0.64克冰毒。
