Hong Kong court orders care home and ex-warden to pay HK$1.19 million to woman resident sexually assaulted a decade ago

A former Hong Kong care home warden and the institution he worked for have been ordered to pay more than HK$1.19 million (US$152,124) in damages to a woman a judge accepted he had molested while she was in his care 10 years ago.

The District Court on Monday ordered Cheung Kin-wah, a former Paralympian who suffers from severe visual impairment, to pay more than HK$836,000 to the woman after Deputy Judge Jonathan Wong of the Court of First Instance found him responsible for causing her pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
